The next morning when the weather was crisp and the sky cloudy, Samantha sat up on her bed while gazing timidly at the envelope in her hand. She felt the brown smooth texture of the envelope, her eyes displaying her affection for the one who wrote it, whilst she opened it up to take out the white paper that had been kept inside. Thankfully, Alain had gone to meet his Father for the meantime, giving her enough time to read the letter without any disruptions.
Her Father handing this letter to Madame Ginevra could only mean he sensed his death day coming. There was no other neighbor he trusted except Madame Ginevra, she understood his reasoning, but why would he give Madame Ginevra the letter to hand to her when he could have given it to her personally? Or was his perspective about her receiving the letter a little earlier meant she wasn't ready to encounter what it held?
