Seven Years

The journey to Z Town was quiet. The two of them did not speak much. Alex continued to focus on his driving and Hazel turned on the radio to listen to some songs. 

She had visited Z Town many times and was very familiar with the scenery outside the window. As the two sat side by side, Hazel continued to look out of the window. 

She could not imagine having Alex as her boyfriend, but at the same time, Hazel could not imagine not having Alex by her side. How many years have they been together? They went to the same kindergarten and then, the same school. They visited each other's house countless times and shared the same hobby. In short, they have spent a lot of time together.

Hazel could not deny that she was a little used to Alex's presence around her. Perhaps, it was because of that that she had missed a few clues that Alex had sent to her.
