00:00Some far away college. He threw the ball for me one last time, then put me out of the truck and
00:05drove away. I ran like crazy, chasing after him. I didn't get it. Humans are just so complicated.
00:11They leave for no good reason at all. I left, and I came back. Two smells always stayed with me.
00:16Always. The smell of Ethan and the smell of cookies. I ended up astray, but I followed a
00:22memory, a feeling that pulled me back to a golden field of wheat, back to that old farm, and I found
00:27him. Time had stolen his youth, but it couldn't steal his scent. He was old, and so lonely. I'd
00:33smelled that kind of loneliness on people before, and I knew he was still thinking about her. I had
00:38to help him. I snuck out and followed that cookie scent to a park, and there she was. Hannah was
00:42older, too, but her smile still made the air smell sweet. I made sure she saw the tag on my collar,
00:48the one with the thenza dress. The door opened the moment their eyes met. It was like time just
00:53folded back on itself. Ica could smell it on both of them. That old, familiar scent of
00:58nervous, happy sweat. My boy didn't miss his chance this time.
