Emma Corrigan, the heroine of this sugary tale, inadvertently spills all her life’s secrets to the handsome stranger sitting next to her on the airplane when she mistakenly believes the plane will crash. Of course, the plane lands safely and the stranger disappears with her secrets—only it turns out he’s no stranger, but the elusive CEO of the company where Emma works.

It starts with Ganges taking a walk to the library on an early spring day. As he strolls, he reminisces about doing the same thing at the same time the previous year. The following panel, with a note in the corner saying "Last spring," exactly mimics the panel preceding...
