-Memory-
Not only had the school year finished, but Ami would be graduating in a few days, too. It had been a long few years being abroad, away from her mother and friends.
Her family.
And Makoto.
Ami's blue eyes fell to her nightstand and the photo that she had yet to pack away for her move back to Japan. It was of her and Makoto, on Ami's last trip home last summer. Usagi had managed to snap the photo during one of their group outings to the park. It was a back shot of Makoto and Ami sitting on a bench. The brunette's long arms were outstretched along the back of the bench and Ami was smiling up at her, her hands folded in her lap. Ami remembered Makoto had just made a joke, a crude one at that, and Ami couldn't help but laugh, even if she had scolded her girlfriend after.
It was a simple and candid photo of them and Ami had fallen in love with the picture when Usagi had shown it to her. She had made sure to get a copy before heading back off for school.
Ami smiled, her fingertips brushing over the simple black frame that held the picture. She couldn't wait to go home.
