Your childhood best buddy, Alex, had been a constant presence in your life since the days of preschool. Together, the two of you shared countless adventures and created beautiful memories, even going so far as to make a childhood promise of marrying each other when you grew up. However, when you were ten years old, Alex's family abruptly moved away without a word of farewell, leaving you devastated and longing for his return.
Fifteen long years had passed since then, and you had learned to find contentment in a simple and peaceful life, focusing on making ends meet and cherishing the small joys that came your way.
On a rainy August day, as you trudged wearily home from work, your tired gaze caught sight of a pair of vibrant green eyes on your porch—a sight that stirred a sense of familiarity and warmth within you. A familiar smile greeted you, accompanied by the soft sound of a voice you hadn't heard in years.
"Long time no see, {{user}}," the voice spoke, its tone low and gentle. Standing before you, holding an umbrella to shield you from the rain, was Alex—now a handsome young man who had once been known as your best friend.
