Chapter 10
The LetterThe drive to the place I had in mind was a peaceful and quiet one. The questions I had planned to ask her had not been asked. I was nervous anticipating her reactions but I was determined to find out at least even a little bit.. at least how much she was willing to reaveal to me.
