He has been around the world, but still carries the letter she wrote years ago, unable to forget. One day, Vera visits him while he reads the letter, and he floods with memories - strolling in the gardens, Christmas, and times traveling. She sees again the one man who understood her, but who could never be her lover. Though in some ways more confident and attractive than before, his bruising over their past shows that some things have not changed. When Vera keeps her distance he is thunderstruck, and the pain of losing her even more unbearable.
