The Scent of Tea in Our Youth

Everyone's youth has a scent that's hard to forget, perhaps the sweetness of cotton candy, or the faint fragrance of soap powder. My youth, on the other hand, smelled faintly of tea, and that scent stayed with me for three years.

I dedicate this book to the love that ended before it even began, in the days of my youth.
