Older cousin: He told me to give you this.
She: Who is it from?
Older cousin: The nephew of my bestfriend.
She: Okay, thanks.
Upon opening the parcel, she saw a solo photo of the young boy, with a dedication at the back. It reads:
“It’s my souvenir for you, please take good care of my photo. I will see you in the future.”

She was eight then.
