Summary: Aurora Reed has always been an impulsive young woman. Deciding to leave the life of riches behind, she volunteers to become an English teacher in Japan over the summer. But everything changes when she meets the enigmatic young man and fellow teacher, Adam Hayakawa. Can two stubborn minds finally come to love and respect one another? Only time will tell.

Notes:
This story was written for a writing challenge community where we were given 30 themes to write short stories to each one. I decided to make mine a 'complete' tale instead of thirty individual pieces.

Hence, each chapter will have a specific theme that runs through it.
