    ... the way he gently pinched her taught nipples under the dress.
    
    Some things happen. Small things.
    
    Tensions peak when Sam notes that the champagne is half full as Akemi puts her hells on.
    
    “Three is my limit. After that…I get too loopy even for myself.”
    
    Yui’s phone buzzes…@Akemi:We’re coming down
    
    Yui checks her watch as she begins walking toward the Nohga Hotel. It’s only been three hours. That’s it? She finds the two newly-acquainted strangers in the lobby.“What happened? What did he do?”
    
    Akemi shakes her head, adjusting her purse.“Nothing happened. Well…some things happened. He was a gentleman. It’s fine.”
    
    “You’re not staying?”
    
    Akemi shrugs, a hand gracing Sam’s shirt.“He gestured for us to leave, helping me put my shoes on, so...”
    
    Yui snickers.“Just your shoes?”
    
    Akemi shrugs, but the smirk wants to emerge. She turns to Sam, a kiss to his cheek.
    
    Sam smiles, taking her hand. She looks down, a business card exchanged in the mix. “It’s not business,” Sam begins, shrugging. “I wrote my personal number on the back.” He gestures, Akemi following along. A tiny smirk quickly grows into something bigger. “Come ...
    ... to America. Or…maybe I’ll be back to Tokyo.”
    
    Yui doesn’t have to translate. There’s a handwritten number on the back, the wordsAmerica andTokyo standing out in his explanation.
    
    “This guy…after my heart.”
    
    Yui nods, forcing herself to look away. This isn’t her moment. Let them have it.

    Japan Airlines flight 7013 touches down in the night, everyone aboard exhausted from the 10 hour ordeal.
    
    As one of the final birds in tonight, the place is in a scramble to get the hell out of there.
    
    Akemi texts the number she now knows well, Japanese characters popping up with question marks all over Sam’s phone.
    
    He gets it. @Sam: Ok
    
    Akemi disembarks the 747 in San Diego, an honest smile and, “Hi!” to Sam as he helps with her bags, an impactful hug after four months of back-and-forth.
    
    “I am so happy you is here,” Sam attempts.
    
    Akemi goes along. Good boy. He’s trying.“I’m happy to see you, too. My first trip to America. And with you.” A set of reserved kisses finds Sam, the final one held in place, as she lets out a little squeal from his determination.
    
    Sam has one week, only seven days, to convince Akemi to stay.
