Unpredictable Love
“One day she’d be glad there was no angry letter when she got home. The next she wondered why he didn’t answer. Dread rocketed through her, making her hand tremble when she opened the mailbox.
She imagined all the horrible things he’d write and shuddered at the names he’d call her.
It would have been worse in person.
But when no response came, the disappointment all but crushed her. Could he be so angry he’d never speak to me again? He hates me. That’s it.
Fear of his words melted away, replaced... by a greater sadness. She kept track of each day.
It’s only four days. He didn’t get it yet.
Then, it’s only a week. Not enough time for it to arrive and him to write back.
Day after day, she’d yank open the little door, only to view emptiness or a few circulars. Then, she’d make an excuse as to why there was no letter there. One week became two.
Two slid into three, then four. When the month had passed, there was no escaping the truth. She had to admit to herself that it was over.MoreLess
