I had a letter this morning stuck through the letterbox. It read:

I just want you to know that I forgive you.

No signature. Blank envelope. Just those words.

Receiving something like this surely gets you examining your conscience, mindful of past trangressions. I scoured my memories, looking for clues. But I came up with nothing.

It troubled me though, nonetheless.

I decided to discuss it with Don when he got back from work. We had no secrets.

"What do you make of this?" I asked, showing him the note.

His face blanched.

Perhaps we did have secrets after all.

100 words exactly

Another Drabble today as I am really up against it timewise at the moment. So many demands. Hoping that once the back-to-school thing has calmed down again, I can get back to more than 100 words. I am enjoying these though!

Thanks for stopping by! If you do read this, please leave a comment as I love to interact with my readers.
