Chapter 1: The letter
Kim sat on the sofa stirring her now cold cup of coffee,the Tv was on but she wasn't really paying just had it on for the noise so that her apartment didn't seem empty and quiet and so that she didn't feel so knew she wasn't alone,everyone at work had been asking about her coming to see her making sure she was alright,telling her to take her time,there was no rush for her to come back to work,there would always be a place for her on the team. Adam had been perfect and she knew it wasn't his fault, he just wanted to make sure she had someone to talk too,but sometimes she wished he didn't care as just wanted to be left alone in her thoughts.
At that moment there was a knock on the door and Kim was shaken back into ignored the knocking in the hope that whoever it was would soon get tired and the knocking begrudgingly she got up of her sofa to open her door,before she opened the door she took a few seconds to compose herself .She took a deep breath and plastered a fake smile on her had mastered the art of fake smiles, not too big to suggest that she was faking it, but enough to lead people to believe that she was happier than she was.
"Hi Kim,I was just on the way back from the grocery store and I thought I'd come round and bring you something you could cook later.I can't stay long I'm meeting some old school friends across town." said sergeant Platt,as she handed the ready cook dinner to Kim.
Kim internally sighed this women always had a excuse, she was just at the store,just driving by,going to the dry cleaners,going to see a friend and this meant that she just had to come to see her and interrupt the peace and quiet that Kim had come to did people interfere in her life so much?Couldn't they tell she just wanted to be doubt Adam had sent Trudy to come check on her because she had been ignoring his pushed those thoughts to the back of her head,no she couldn't be like that,she was lucky to have so many people who cared about her and wanted to make sure she was alright.
"Hi Trudy,thanks for the dinner,hope you have a nice evening." replied Kim
"Thank You,well I'll see you soon Burgess."Said Sergeant Platt
Kim was just about to shut the door.
"Oh wait a second Burgess." said Sergeant Platt
Kim opened the door.
"This letter came for you to the precinct today." Sergeant Platt said as she handed the letter to Kim
Kim shut the door and walked back towards her sofa.
She sat down on the sofa and looked at the wasn't in handwriting she recognized.
She opened the envelope.
Dear Kim,
Firstly I want to apologize for not getting in touch for such a long time and it's nobody's fault but my own. After Nadia died,my life fell apart completely,I lost who I was and I had to get away from it.I'm deeply sorry that I left things the way that they were,but it felt as though the pain was swallowing me up whole and I had to escape it before it consumed me. But moving to New York was a positive move for me,I'm in a much better place than I was the last time we saw hard as it is pain and grief eventually subside and it gets that little bit easier to not completely fall apart.I'm so sorry Kim,if I could take your pain away I would, but I just want you to know I'm here for a chat. Please Kim,don't make the mistakes I made,let people into your life they only want to help don't push them away,as much as it feels like people won't leave you alone,they are just doing it because they care. Call me for a chat anytime and come to visit New York!.
All my love
Erin.
Kim looked down at the letter in her hands,she was awash with emotions,she was surprised and pleased to hear from Erin who she hadn't heard from for close to four and a half was angry that Erin had just left without even saying goodbye or even staying in touch.
Kim sat staring at her phone as her finger hovered over the dial button finally her finger pressed down on the button and the phone wrang.
"Hello,who's speaking?" Said Erin
"Erin,it's Kim." replied Kim
