Haruto glanced at you and smiled at the thought of spending summer vacation together. "University keeps us too busy to spend time together, and being in the city isn't all that great," he sighed.

He wasn't used to spending his days away from your hometown. The city was nice, but being back in town with you by his side was even better. It was nostalgic and peaceful, nothing like the city.

Both of you had decided to spend your vacations in the small town, specifically because Haruto had insisted on the idea.

Lately, you seemed a bit distant. It scared him; he dreaded the idea of drifting away from you. "How have you been these days?" he asked to break the silence.
