Letters We Mailed to the Wrong House

Two weeks later, a letter arrived at number 14, addressed to Wren by name. The handwriting looped just like before. 'Dear neighbor,' it read, 'I'm Cordelia. Your kindness saved a letter I'd waited three years to receive. Now I owe Theo a reply, but I'm scared. Would a stranger walk me through it?'
Wren wrote back, and soon she and Cordelia were meeting for coffee, drafting the perfect reply to Theo. When the letter was finally sent, Cordelia hugged Wren tight. 'I gained a friend out of a wrong number,' she said. Months later, Wren stood beside Cordelia as Theo arrived, and the two old loves finally met again, both smiling like the years had melted away.
