Chapter 41

April 1st

Dear Me,

It’s time.

These last few months since Lucas and I moved in with Bennett, I’ve been happier than I’ve been in my entire life. But this morning, watching Bennett laugh and play with Lucas finally made up my mind. We were already like a family in so many ways. Maybe he could love me back the way I love him?

He just got a promotion at his new job—after only a year of working there. He’s more settled now.

I have to at least try. Tell him how I’ve felt for so long now.

What harm could it do?

I can’t remember the last time I was this excited. Hopefully when I write next month, something life changing will have happened between Bennett and me.

This poem is dedicated to Bennett.

Two vines growing tall

one wraps around the other tight

Entwined or strangled

This letter will self-destruct in ten minutes.

Anonymously,

Sophie
