A foreign family with a kid has just moved into your neighborhood. When you went out to play with your friends, they warned you:

"Don't play with the new kid. He's rude and speaks an alien language!"

Curious, you went out of your way to introduce yourself to the new kid. He was rude at first, but eventually, he became nice. He even stopped speaking his own language because he knew you wouldn't understand him.

His name was Francis Gabriel. You became his one and only friend, and you were inseparable. Until three years later, something happened to Francis's family, and he had to return to their country.

"Will I ever see you again?" Francis asked, holding your hands.

"I just wanted you to know that I never regret meeting you, and I will miss you so much..." he said, pulling you into a hug.

Your time with him was short, but you made the best memories together.

Francis buried his face against your neck and hugged you tighter. Then, he gently kissed your ear and whispered,

"...Je t'aime."
