Regrets
Duncan turned a corner; he'd been walking for hours. He reached into his pocket and retrieved a letter; he didn't read it, he already knew it by heart.
Dear Duncan,
I promised to write you a letter, so here it is. This is so weird; writing by hand, but there's something...oh, I don't know, something nice about it.
Anyway, there's so much I want to tell you. I've finally been granted the position as Administrator. I know, doesn't sound to exiting, but I love my new job. My colleagues are very nice people and the students show so much potential. I can't wait to see how they turn out.
My mother and I have decided we're better off not seeing one another again, oh don't feel sorry Duncan, we both know she and I would never become friends, let alone Mother and Daughter. Too much has happened.
I really miss you guys. I miss our nights at Joe's; hanging out, talking. How is Joe? Are he and Maria still together? I hope so. Heh, who would've thought those two would end up together. I still crack up remembering your face when we walked in on them. And Richie? Last I heard he was going to Brazil, but I haven't heard from him yet. I hope he's okay. You remember the jacket we bought him? Of course you do, silly me.
Has Adam received the gift I sent him? I haven't heard from him yet, but if he has...well, I just hope he'll be too busy laughing to think of payback. Yeah, like that'll happen!
Have I told you about Michael yet? Possibly. He is probably the nicest guy I know, besides you of course. He loves me. Me! Heh, I still can't believe it! I know, I know, you guys love me, but this is different.
Anyway, I really hope you'll come over during the summer, there's so much I want to show you! You're going to love this town, I know I do.
Love and kisses,
Desiree.
Duncan wiped the tears from his eyes. He'd always known this day would come, he just whished it wouldn't hurt so much. He lost her, for good. She would never be his again, he made sure of that. How could he have been such a fool? All he had to do was wait, wait three more years and she would've been old enough for him to love her, to show her how much he really loved her. And he drove her away, because he couldn't control himself. He sighed and put the letter back into his pocket. He took a deep breath, put a, what he hoped, convincing smile on his face and entered Joe's.
