There are somethings you never forget.

I carefully remove the stack of letters from behind the hidden floorboard.

The ribbon, which was once yellow has now turned a dull blush. The envelopes have faded, the words remain.

I stopped reading them decades ago. Each word a vow, a reminder of a lost life, of a lost love.

I want to forget. I need to remember.

Carlisle saved me from more than even he knows. One day I'll tell him, when the pain lessens, when my heart heals.

I clutch the letters to my chest, remember, and hide them away again.
