Before the Ever After, 3
His parents had demanded nothing, asked for no plans; for which now Judy was considering in great detail. Sugiyama’s parents were really very lovely! Other than the strange way they had rejoiced over their relationship, they had been accepting of her. The ‘eventually’ regarding their marriage had...

Sukiyaki bubbled in a pot before them on the table. Mrs. Sugiyama bustled about adjusting the heat under the pot at the different stages of cooking; as each ingredient was added, the steam rising up became more fragrant. The reason for this dinner could be forgotten and Judy relaxed as Mr. Sugiyama...

Before the Ever After, 1
BEFORE THE EVER AFTER Judy sat on the river bank watching the caravan of dump trucks snake across the dry river bed thinking what she was witnessing was ingenious. They were all headed to the place under the bridge where they would aid in widening it. She could see the cranes that were all ready...

Before the Ever After, After 10
‘Sugi-chan?’ Judy whispered into his ear as she jealously gazed at his one outstretched leg into the isle of the plane cabin. It was ridiculous to assume she could get any kind of rest under such miserable circumstances. The unknown person in the window seat had an eye mask and headphones adorning...

Before the Ever After, After 9

Before the Ever After, After 8
Before Judy and Sugiyama could find out how long it took for the love motels to reopen, they had a business trip together. There was only one catch, Tanaka was also along. It was the three of them. Work was work and it couldn’t be helped. In early June the three of them were headed on a plane to...

Before the Ever After, After 7
As spring turned into early summer work became busier than ever and Judy and Sugiyama found there was no time; sent on separate business trips and not having any personal time, much less any time together. Thousands of people were still in pre fabricated housing which the government had managed to...

Before the Ever After, After 6
‘I thought about just leaving it well enough alone.’ Sugiyama sitting across from her, bearing his soul only made Judy squirm. Here they were in the same restaurant she’d been in last night with Daisuke. It must have been one of the few places open or something, but when Sugiyama brought her here...

Before the Ever After, After 5
Stretching, Judy glanced at the clock on the wall in her office, it was six o’clock. She would be meeting Daisuke at seven-thirty at the newly re-opened restaurant along the shore. Going home to change wasn’t the same when it wasn’t your own house; she would make do with what she had on. She...

Before the Ever After, After 4
A Sunday before her business trip had been spent with Lisa, whose apartment was being fixed so that she was living at Takeshi’s house with his parents until it could be moved back into. Judy thought with awe that Lisa was getting first hand experience at being married, without being married, a kind...
