It has been said that when you leave somewhere, you leave a piece of yourself behind. Time moves forward for everyone you know, but the place you have left is forever locked in a magical moment of memories and emotions. If one should return to that place of old, it has the power to become a time machine adventure of thoughts and recollections, and it is there that you can find yourself again.

Today, Alan finds himself in this exact situation. Aboard a commercial jetliner, he's piercing the sky headed across the miles and years to the town of his youth, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in celebration of his father's 80th birthday. Along his journey home, he's confronted with his thoughts of when he was sixteen and the events that would lead to his best friend at the time, Kris becoming his first love. As he ponders this era of his life, he wonders if he finally has the nerve to visit her after all these years.

With each mile, moment, and memory that passes by, he realizes that if he doesn't make use of this fortunate opportunity, he may never get this same chance again.
