Spring


"Molly, what does snow become when it melts?" Jin had been asked this very question in college, by his first girlfriend. He had not realized what his girlfriend had been asking then, and had answered water. She'd laughed, and told him we was too serious, and needed to see the world from the snow's point of view, whatever than meant.

And now, he was asking Molly. After he spoke, she looked thoughtful for a moment, and then smiled that wrinkle-nose smile he loved.

"It becomes spring!" she said, as if it were the most natural answer in the world.


I realize this is shamelessly copied from Fruits Basket! But I thought, it fits so well, I couldn't NOT use it!
