Letters We Mailed to the Wrong House
romanceEveryoneWren decided to walk it over to number 41 herself. The right house had a blue door and a sleepy cat in the window. She knocked, holding the letter out like an apology. The door opened, and a young man blinked at her, confused. 'I'm looking for Cordelia,' Wren said.
'Cordelia's my aunt,' the man said. 'She moved to the coast last spring. I'm Jonah, I just rent the place now.' He looked at the looping handwriting and his face went soft. 'That's Theo's writing. He's been trying to reach her for years.' Wren leaned in. 'Do you know how to find either of them?'

2 ways forwardJonah dug out an old address book and found Cordelia's seaside address. He and Wren mailed Theo's letter together, with a note saying where Cordelia had gone. A month later, a postcard arrived at number 14. It showed a beach and read: 'They found each other. Thank you, neighbor. Come to the wedding. — Cordelia.' Wren laughed out loud, and so did Jonah, who hadn't left her side since.
