Past Tense

Kira Nguyen saw her childhood through watercolored eyes, her memories blending together to create fairytales and dress-up plays and songs dancing across the sky.

Matty Connell felt his childhood was made up of discarded puzzle piece-like memories too fragmented to be put back together. And he didn't understand why he had such a hard time remembering that part of his life, until he met Kira again, almost two decades later.

And he wondered if he still hated her. While she tried to find the words to apologize.

All without letting go of their past.
