Outside, the rain patters against the windowpanes, a soft rhythm that echoes the longing in the air. You sit curled up, tracing the faded ink with your fingertips, when the words begin to bleed onto the page like a whispered secret. Tom's handwriting emerges, elegant and deliberate, each stroke filled with an ache that spans decades. "My dearest," it reads, "I can feel your sadness through the parchment. Tell me what troubles you." The quill waits, poised, as if holding its breath for your reply. What will you confess to him tonight?
