The envelope jammed in my mailbox. Wrong address: 14 instead of 41. Inside: a letter for Cordelia, in looping handwriting. 'Darling,' it starts, 'I know it's been too long. I owe you a conversation I've been too scared to have.'

I could just put it back. Mark it 'Return to Sender' and forget I ever opened it.

Three days later same letter comes back. There's a sticky note taped to the front now. Different handwriting: 'PLEASE READ THIS.'
