She looked down at the letter in her hand. It was a plain white envelope with a pretty hibiscus stamp, and it clearly read, Attn: Abby Stevens above Google’s address in type. The postmark on the front was faded and unreadable, with no sender’s name or address. She held it up, trying to look through the inside under the light. She couldn’t see anything. It must be a security envelope.

She scoured through her desk drawer to find her paper knife. She hadn’t used it in years. “Aha.”

“Let’s see…” She incised the envelope carefully, trying not to cut too deep, or she might cut the letter inside.

It was like opening a treasure trove unearthed from an archeological site.

She pulled a piece of fancy letter paper out of the envelope and unfolded it.

Her eyes glued to the letter, she froze.

Dearest Abb,

How have you been? Hope this letter finds you well.

I miss you. Maybe we can get together sometime.

Do you know a secret behind the memories?

R.S.

“Who the hell wrote such a letter?” she mumbled, but she could guess who might’ve done it.

R.S. must be Ryan Stewart, her ex-fiancé. His signature had always been just initials.

Or someone who knew her past could’ve played a prank on her. But who? And why?

First of all, no one around her now had any knowledge of him except for her family and close friends. However, since it was the social media era, nobody had any actual privacy.

I miss you. Ooh, that was creepy. Maybe we can get together sometime. Nope, not gonna happen.

Then the last line in the letter. Do you know a secret behind the memories?

What the hell did it mean by a secret behind the memories? What secret? What memories? The memory of their disastrous relationship? The memory that she’d wanted to rub out? Was it a stupid example of failed rhetoric? Yup, he hadn’t even been able to write a small grocery list correctly.

Last time she’d checked on Facebook three years ago, he’d lived in Oregon. But who knew where he lived now? It could be on Mars.

She wished Mia wasn’t on vacation enjoying time in her sweet hometown, San Diego, surfing like hell. If she was here, Abby could’ve complained and ranted at her about the douchebag who’d had the nerve to send her this spooky letter.

She decided to ignore it and take it home, not discarding it at work. Even shredding it in the office seemed too embarrassing.

It was weird how sometimes, out of the blue, old wounds throbbed.
