“then day reaches out and touches my hand with his. he encloses it in a handshake. and just like that, i am linked with him again, i feel the pulse of our bond and his- tory and love through our hands, like a wave of magic, the return of a long lost friend. of something meant to be. the feeling brings tears to my eyes. perhaps we can take a step forward together. 

‘hi,’ he says. ‘i’m daniel.’ 

‘hi,’ i reply. ‘i’m june.’”
