Evelyn didn’t know who to address the letter to.

She hadn’t met the man yet, after all.

But she penned out a few words anyway. Just in case.

I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to meet you.

But I have to do this.

I have to leave.

You kept me waiting. You shouldn’t have.

That was your mistake.

Now I have to flee.

This is a goodbye before we’ve even met.

Then she paused, contemplating, before she ran the pen across the paper again.

I would have loved you well.

But you didn’t choose me.

And I chose myself.
