Linda had held my hand that night and told me that some people were destined to stay in the past.
I’ve never questioned him.
Susan continued.
I asked Linda to give you one last letter.
He put his hand in the box and pulled another envelope.
Unlike the others, this one had been opened.
Suddenly I felt my legs failing.
“Did you read it?” I asked.
Susan nodded.
He told me he would hand it over to you.
I opened the envelope.
The letter inside was brief.
Robert, I came because I needed to tell you face to face, but I didn’t have the courage to wait any longer. I still love you. If it’s even a small part of you that still loves me, call me. I’ll go anywhere. I’ll start with you again.
Below was a phone number.
I stared at it until the numbers became blurry.
