You know that voice in your head whose whispers you hear during important points in your life, trying to steer you onto certain paths? Mine was telling me to just put the letter back. It wasn't for me. It was none of my business.
I ignored it, untucking the flap and pulling out the note. I told myself I'd stop after I read the first sentence.
I appreciate the offer to come to the Hamptons. Just a few more sentences. And I’m glad that you’ve come to a decision about giving me Nan’s wedding ring-

-but I think I may have been a little premature asking for it.
Dread crept in and locked its fingers around my throat.

I’m not sure where Leila and I stand.
I let go of the paper, watching it flutter to the ground. I tried to convince myself that my eyes deceived me. That he'd written those words out of anger, when the wounds from Cade were still fresh.
But there was a date at the left corner of the paper.
Yesterday's date.
