Jack returns to Mineral Town to check on the farmer he befriended. When he get near the town, he has dreams of a girl he met on his first visit. He promised he wouldn't forget her, but he has forgotten her name.

Chapter 35

Jack then went to the supermarket, to see if Karen was there. When he entered he saw Sasha over at the cooking supplies checking on what needed to be restocked.

"Hello, Jack. What can I help you with today?"

"Hello, Sasha, is Karen here? Is she still wanting to talk to me after my cowardly act yesterday?"

Sasha chuckled, "I wouldn't call that cowardly, you must not have had a beautiful woman joke about that she might join you while you take a shower at her place."

"Yes, you're right. Is Karen here?"

"No, she is out. Why do you ask?"

"I wanted to tell her I remembered more of the dream I had of the first meeting I had with the little girl I met ten years ago."

"Dream?"

"Yes."

Jack then explained about the dream of the first meeting.

Sasha rubbed her chin, "I see, you're wondering if Karen has a birthmark on her chest?"

Jack scratched his head, "Yes. If she does, could you not tell me what it looks like? I don't want to have a false memory."

Sasha smiled, "I think Karen wouldn't be mad if I tell you that she does have a birthmark on her chest. As for what it looks like, I'll keep it secret for now."

The door to the store opened and Karen entered, "Oh, hello Jack. Why are you here?"

Jack smiled, "Well for two things. First I want to apologize for running away like I did yesterday."

Karen grinned, "Well, I guess I'll forgive you, you are nice. The second thing?"

"I remembered a little bit more of the dream of the first meeting. It wasn't a spot of dirt on her chest. It was a birthmark."

Karen's eyes widened slightly, "A birthmark? Are you wanting to know if I have one?"

"Well..."

Karen saw that Jack was nervous, "I guess that I can tell you. I do have one. Do you know what it looks like?"

"No, and please don't tell me, I don't want to have a false memory. Because I found out from Elli that she has one as well at the same location."

A surprised look crossed Karen's face, "She did?"

Jack nodded, "So it looks like it was either you or Elli that I made the promise of not forgetting."

"It does. Oh, by the way, I just came back from mailing the order of that swimsuit for you."

Jack smiled, "Thank you. Say, how about when it gets here, to make up for my reaction of your joke that you might have joined me if I took a shower here. How about we wear our swimsuits and go to the hot spring and soak for a while. In a way we would be bathing together."

Sasha and Karen giggled, then Karen said, "Ok, we'll do that. I'll consider it a promise."

Jack smiled, "I keep that promise."
