NOVEMBER, 2028
Dear Asher,
I’m sorry to hear about the shipwreck. That’s awful. I hope you know you did your best. I don’t even need to know details to know you did. Just for the record, you could’ve called. You don’t need to be at your best to be a good friend. After all, I’ve been a damn mess for a year, longer really, and you’re still here. Or are you only here because I’m a good lay?
I’m really looking forward to seeing you next month.
That’s all I have for now really.
Xo,
Hales
P.S. The ghost joke has been my favorite so far.
