He smiles and whistles as he walks out the front door on his annual one day off. Niall and Liam wave at him from the stable and barn respectively. They’re smiling too, but it doesn’t look quite right on their faces. Louis doesn’t understand why they look so sad every time he does this. Just like he does every year on September 28th, he walks to town in his best suit, a perfectly dried and preserved rose tucked into the button hole of his left lapel. He waves at the townsfolk and greets his friends, a genuine happy smile playing at his lips the entire way down to the train station. Nobody dares comment, but Louis can tell they pity him. They think he’s being ridiculous. They think the whole thing is mad. But Louis knows. He just knows that Harry will show up.
