He insisted that I would love it. The dates I had off from work also happened to align with cherry blossom season.

“It will be stunning,” he said. “I promise.”

I was less convinced. I’d had a dream of a beach and a white swim suit, a steady stream of margaritas with chunky salt on the rim. Still, he was so excited about the idea that I agreed.
