Letters We Mailed to the Wrong House
romanceEveryone5 contributors · 5 paragraphs deep
Wren drove to the bookshop that weekend. Inside, paper boats hung from the ceiling on strings. A gray-haired man at the counter looked up. '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.
Theo closed the shop early and made Wren tea. He told her everything, about Cordelia, the goodbye he botched, the letters sent into silence. Wren pulled out her phone and helped him track Cordelia to a cottage by the sea. He was too nervous to go alone, so Wren drove him. When Cordelia opened the door, three years melted away, and Theo turned to Wren, eyes wet. 'A wrong address brought me to the right person.'
