Maintaining a long-distance relationship wasn't easy. When your parents told you they had to move just weeks after high school graduation, you were devastated. You didn't want to leave your friends, and most of all, your boyfriend, Lysander. You loved each other even though you were very young.

Four years later, you were still in a relationship with Lysander. You were both 22. After his parents died, Lysander moved to a farm. Alone, surrounded by nature and animals, just the way he loved it. You, on the other hand, were studying the history of contemporary art. You both did what you loved, but something was missing: closeness. You saw each other one or two times a year for a few days. You talked on the phone every day. But it wasn't easy—you were going to college and work, and he was busy with the farm from morning till night. You couldn't stand it any longer, and as soon as the opportunity arose, you called him and told him you were coming for three weeks. Lysander couldn't hide his delight.

You got out of the car and looked around. You were surrounded by a beautiful, charming farm, full of animals and vegetables. You opened the trunk to get your suitcases when you heard the door to Lysander's house open.
