Chapter 6: Letters from her past

Abby's P.O.V

My breath caught in my throat and I quickly grabbed the bundle with shaking hands, and stuck them in my nightstand drawer. I opened the suitcase, and started packing the clothes I had gathered already. Then I caught Ray looking at me weird, glancing at my face, than down, than back. I followed his gaze down, "so he did notice my hands," I thought. I walked back over to the drawer and grabbed the last letter from Richard out of the bundle, and handed it to him. He opened it up and read it quickly; I watched his face change from disbelief to pain to anger and rage, as he read all the lies, the threats, and the boasting of all the ways he had hurt me. He finished reading, than walked around the bed, and pulled me into a tight embrace,

"You know I would never do anything like that to you, right?"

I nodded, "I know…"

He took a step back,

"Ok, moment over!" he said, smiling.

I laughed, but oh how I wished that moment could've lasted forever, and little did either of us know, we were falling fast for each other. I finished getting all my stuff ready,

"All set?" he asked.

I checked my stuff,

"Pretty sure."
