The Perfect Stranger

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.
The end.
