“I have one with crippling homesickness. She may not las the semester. One who despises Western philosophy but has a terrifying mastery of it, and one who has already fallen in love with the receptionist.” 😂 😂 an impressive list of human conditions!
Thank you Bob! It’s true these small things are the makers of lasting memory. I still remember my mother’s perfume from when I was a little girl. When I smell it I’m transported back to the days of childhood. Smells are a powerful memory builder.
Dorie, I adore how you write Ming — all discipline on the outside and then quietly falling apart the moment Mary reappears. The almost-collision made me smile; it felt like watching fate nudge two people a tiny step closer. This chapter had such a lovely spark~
Fate is definitely at play here. Thank you so much for reading I appreciate your support very much. I’m having a good time with this story, it’s been a joy to write it.

“Excuse—” The words died in his throat. The scent hit him first—peony and rose, just like the day before.”
It seems that it is always the small little things that stay with us for a lifetime.
Great writing and great story Dorie.
