“He told me to give you this if anything ever happened to him,” she said. I took it, my stomach twisting. Inside was a letter.

My knees nearly buckled. The woman swallowed hard. “I found the letter months ago,” she whispered.

“I didn’t know how to face you. After the accident… he talked about you every day. He said you were the only person who ever truly stayed.”

Something inside me cracked.
