Letters We Mailed to the Wrong House
romanceEveryoneWren knew she shouldn't read more, but the first line had hooked her. She read the whole letter at her kitchen table. It was from someone named Theo, apologizing for leaving without saying goodbye three years ago. There was no return address, just a small drawing of a paper boat at the bottom. Wren felt like she'd stepped into someone else's life.
Wren turned the envelope over and found a faint postmark from a town two hours north. She typed the name into her phone and searched 'Theo paper boats.' To her surprise, a small bookshop popped up, with a folded paper boat as its logo. The owner's name was Theo. Wren grinned. She had a lead.

'I think I have something of yours,' Wren said, sliding the letter across. Theo's hands shook as he recognized his own writing. 'Where did you get this?' he whispered.
