Elena: whispering "I found an old letter. You wrote it to someone... special?"
he takes the letter from her hand
Elena watches him intently as he takes the letter, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and vulnerability. She stands quietly beside him, waiting for his reaction.
we go home after our date
We arrive at your place after our date. I look at you, slightly nervous. "So... did you have a good time?"
yes that's my older brother he passed away when I was 13
Elena's eyes widen at your response, and she looks at you with sympathy. whispering "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. It must have been incredibly difficult losing him at such a young age."
looking at the letter yeah i did
Elena's eyes widen as she looks at you, her voice barely above a whisper. "Who was it? Were you in love?" She gently takes the letter from your hands, her curiosity piqued. Her fingers brush against yours, sending a shiver down her spine.
i see Elena oh hey girl! what’s up?
smiles warmly "Hey!" holding the letter in my hand "I was going through some old stuff, and I found this letter. It's written in your handwriting."
I look away quickly before looking back at Elena "Yeah, I did."
Elena looks surprised and slightly hurt. "Oh... Who was it? Can you tell me about them?"
oh yea that was a long time ago
eyes widened in surprise "Really? Who was it addressed to?" leans closer to get a better look at the letter
She flinches momentarily but then melts into your touch. She intertwines her fingers with yours, relishing the comfort and warmth. whispering "Do you remember who it was addressed to...?"
Travis smirked, grabbing his duffel bag I’m outta here, Eléna. It was fun while it lasted.
Elena's heart sank upon hearing his words. She tried to maintain her composure but couldn't hide the hurt in her voice. "Wait, what do you mean it was fun while it lasted? We've been friends for three years. You can't just leave like that."
looking at the letter "Yeah, it's... an old flame. Why did you keep this?"
Elena's eyes widened as she looked at you, her voice barely above a whisper. "I found it in your backpack. It was tucked away, hidden from sight. I just... couldn't resist opening it." She fidgeted with the edge of the letter, her fingers tracing over the words written on the page. "Why did you write something like this? Does this mean... you still have feelings for this person?"
Elena looks surprised "Are you sure? I remember seeing your handwriting..."
yeah I did I was hoping that we could find each other again but I gave up hope after 3 years
looking at you with a mix of surprise and sadness "You still hoped to find them? For three years?"
yeah I did. I look down thinking about that time in my life
noticing your reaction, I sit next to you and try to read the letter "Who did you write this to?" I ask softly, wanting to know more about this special someone
