Mark’s letter
Inside the envelope was a letter from my husband, written just days before he died. My heart pounded as I unfolded the crisp paper and saw his familiar handwriting—an immediate rush of emotion brought tears to my eyes. “Dear Sarah,” it began, “I’m so sorry for everything.” His words struck me with a strange mix of comfort and devastation. “There are things you need to know, things I’ve kept hidden,” the letter continued, and with each line, the weight of his secrets began to reveal themselves.

The letter offered another heartfelt apology before hinting at something he had done years ago. My eyes darted across the lines, desperate for clarity. “There are actions I took that affect our present,” he wrote. “I hoped you’d never have to find out, but it seems inevitable now.” A storm of questions erupted in my mind—what had he done? Why had he kept it from me all this time? The vagueness of his words only heightened my unease, leaving me more unsettled than before.
