Book12 Chapter10.
There was a bracelet on my wrist. Over time, it had lost its shine.
This was the first gift Jordan gave me.
When I was 19.
There was a week when I barely saw him, except in class.
He was hustling between various part-time jobs, working harder than ever.
On my birthday, my parents threw a party for me at a fancy restaurant.
I told Jordan, but he didn't show up.
I waited and waited until evening, finally getting his call.
He said, "I'm waiting for you at the restaurant entrance."
In the heavy snow, my boy stood tall like a pine tree.
He was covered in dust, like I was today, with his delivery uniform stained with mud.
Back then, I didn't understand anything. I just complained that he was too late.
Jordan rubbed my head and said he brought me a birthday gift.
The bracelet was a basic model, not expensive, but it was far beyond what he could afford.
I loved it and put it on my wrist right there. I never took it off again.
Later, my parents called me, asking who I was talking to.
They didn't like Jordan. They thought he wasn't good enough for me.
When I turned back, Jordan had already disappeared into the snow.
To this day, I occasionally think back.
When we were 19, Jordan must have liked me, right?
