'A Love Story'

Somewhat reminiscent of the earlier 'Alexander' this tale concerns a young man's experiences with love, denial, and loss as he and a girlfriend visit some cherry farmers.

At the end, the narrator seizes her hands and speaks to her 'urgently and tenderly, overcome by a strange fear lest it should be too late.'
