Jules was just 6 years old and Shane was only 8 years old when the two became friends at school. Now that many years have passed, Shane was 20 and Jules would be turning 18 this week.

Shane had just got off the bus at a remote station of a small town where Jules was living with her boyfriend. He looked over the horizon and spotted the tree. The tree was important because it is the same tree that they buried Jules's dog under, the same tree that Jules fell out of and broke her wrist and the same tree that Jules kissed Shane.
