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.

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.
