He will come back in Winter and stay until the following Fall.

If the player chooses to marry Amir, he will stay in town all year.

Marriage
Being a special (and secret) marriage candidate, he is more challenging to court than other bachelors. You won't be able to see his heart color until you're married, so you'll have to guess its color for the events by going to your assets (your library) and looking at how many hearts he has. He also doesn't appear in the assets as a bachelor.

Since he doesn't have any family or close friends in Zephyr Town, you don't need to befriend anyone else to marry him. After marriage, Amir will stay in town all year round; he will only leave your farm house on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
