Chapter 34 Haru

• We were waiting outside the train station of a little resort town called Aoi in Hokkaido, and since it was snowing and freakin’ freezing, I found myself huddling against Aiden to steal some of his warmth.
• After four days of fun, sightseeing, and eating our way around both Tokyo and Kyoto, now here we were, ready to meet up with Uncle Jin, whom Reo and I hadn’t seen for over ten years.
• Uncle Jin used to live in Osaka, where he and Mom had been born and raised, but then he moved here to Hokkaido to open his own little ryokan a few years after Mom, Reo, and I moved to America when I had been eight years old.
