A secret reunion
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The letter carried brief instructions: 'Meet me at the corner of the street', it read. But who was it from?It was a typical Wednesday afternoon when Emma received a mysterious letter. She was sorting through the mail when she noticed a small, white envelope with her name scribbled in hasty handwriting. There was no return address, no indication of who had sent it. Curious, Emma opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper.
The letter carried brief instructions:
"Meet me at the corner of Main and Elm at 5 pm. Come alone."
That was all. No signature, no explanation. Emma's mind began to wander. Who could have sent this? A friend playing a prank? A secret admirer? She tried to brush it off, but the curiosity lingered.
As the day went on, Emma found herself glancing at the clock, counting down the minutes until 5 pm. She tried to focus on her work, but her mind kept drifting back to the mysterious letter.
Finally, 5 pm arrived. Emma made her way to the corner of Main and Elm, her heart beating slightly faster. As she turned the corner, she saw a figure waiting.
It was Jack, her high school sweetheart, whom she hadn't seen in years. He looked a bit worn, but his smile was still the same. Emma's heart skipped a beat as he approached her.
"I've missed you," Jack said, taking her hand. "I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I wanted to see you again, but I didn't want to call or text. I wanted it to be a surprise."
Emma's mind reeled as Jack led her to a nearby café. Over coffee, they caught up on lost time, reminiscing about old times and sharing stories about their lives.
As the sun began to set, Emma realized that the mysterious letter had brought her a gift – a chance to reconnect with a piece of her past, and perhaps, a chance to rekindle an old flame.
"Thank you for the letter," Emma said, smiling at Jack. "I was starting to think I'd never see you again."
"I knew it was a risk," Jack replied, "but I wanted to make it special. I'm glad you came."
As they parted ways, Emma couldn't help but wonder what other secrets the letter might have held. But for now, she was content with the surprise reunion, and the possibility of a new beginning.
