Then I realize I don’t have any I’ll open the envelope, because there’s no way I can’t

I reach for the letter opener and slice it down the paper in one quick swipe Inside I find a few folded pages and I flatten thees detail where she hen she left our school

Kory had tested out of her senior year early and aiting to decide on what college she wanted to go to before she left She received acceptance letters to five Ivy League schools, and she chose Harvard She graduated early as a che cosmetic companies in the country She was there for several years before taking an abrupt job offer in Manhattan

The next page is her personal history, and there Pandora has her listed as single, never married The knot in my chest relaxes, and I’m surprised because I had no idea it was there It wouldn’t have mattered if she was married That wouldn’t stop me

Wait, what a this? Do I have a choice?

The rest of the pages are filled with information about where she lived and what she was up to in Boston There’s not much else that’s known about her situation in Manhattan, other than the fact that she’s living with her ot a job that’s about a block from me

Then I think back to the last time I saw her, and the tears in her eyes However e that’s burned into le reason why she would want to see ot a chance to explain myself She never stopped to let e that In fact, it’s pretty fucking long overdue

I’ The only logical thing to do now is toto hear et away
