Samantha "Sam" Thompson
vibrant, and enigmatic. Now married with four children, she appears content but unaware of Landon's lingering feelings for her. Her presence in Landon's life sparks unresolved emotions and questions about her current relationship.
It was a fateful day.
That's when she and I crossed paths, and I knew right then and there that I wanted her.
Four years later, I got my wish, but it didn't last.
She left without a word and vanished.
Now, five years later, I've seen her again, this time with four children and a man by her side.
The question now is: Does he love her?
Only time will tell.
Seeing her this morning with her husband and their four children brought everything rushing back.
I was reminded of that fateful day we met, and how she left me without explanation after we were together for three months.
I still remember the pain I felt when she left, but also how I vowed to never let myself get hurt like that again.
Now, seeing her with a husband by her side, I'm left wondering if he truly loves her.
Does he take care of her?
Does he make her happy the way I did?
I watched from across the street as she came out of their modern home, wearing a bright pink, low-cut top that hugged her amazing figure like it was made for her body alone.
Her long, wavy blonde hair was loose, and her makeup was light.
She looked as beautiful as ever.
She helped her youngest into the minivan while her husband loaded groceries into the trunk.
He was a tall, slender man with brown hair and a beard.
He wore a pair of jeans and a white shirt that showed off his muscular arms.
He looked like he worked out, but he didn't have that rugged look that I did.
I gripped my coffee cup tighter as I watched them.
My heart pounded in my chest like it was going to jump out.
I couldn't believe she was married and had four kids.
How could she do this?
I thought we had something special, but I guess I was wrong.
She slammed the van door shut and turned around, waving goodbye to her husband who was still loading groceries in the trunk.
The early morning sun caught her wedding ring, making it shine brightly.
Something inside of me snapped at that moment, and I tossed my half-finished coffee in the nearby trash can and wiped my sweating palms on my suit pants before stepping off the curb. Cars honked as I strode across the busy street, my voice catching in my throat before finally breaking free.
"Samantha!"
I called out, loud enough for her to hear over the traffic noise.
She froze, one hand still on the sliding door of the minivan.
Her youngest was squirming in the car seat, while her other three kids were still inside the house.
I could hear their muffled voices through the open front door.
I strode across the final stretch of asphalt, my dress shoes clicking against the pavement as I approached her.
Her husband appeared from behind the van with more grocery bags, and she snapped out of her shock at his arrival.
She shut the sliding door and stepped forward, positioning herself between me and her family.
She fidgeted with her wedding ring, a nervous habit I remembered all too well.
The summer heat beat down on us as cars continued to whizz by, but I hardly noticed.
"Samantha," I repeated, my voice steady now, "we need to talk."
Her eyes darted to the ground as I bent down to retrieve the paper that had fallen from her husband's arms.
My fingers trembled as I picked it up, my gaze fixed on her.
Cameron froze mid-step, his arms full of grocery bags, watching us intently.
The letter's envelope was worn and creased from being folded and refolded multiple times.
I recognized my own handwriting, the same script I used nine years ago - the day I wrote this very letter but never sent it.
The words 'To Sam' were scribbled across the front in hasty penmanship.
I turned it over, studying it intently as questions swirled in my mind.
It had been opened and resealed multiple times, the once-crisp edges now softened with age.
I glanced up to see Sam reaching for it, her eyes pleading, but I held it just out of her grasp. Cameron set his grocery bags down on the porch step, his gaze flicking between me and Sam.
The children's laughter echoed from inside the house, their voices muffled by the closed door.
I held the letter between us, a barrier separating us from the rest of the world.
Sam's fingers trembled as she reached for it again, but I pulled back slightly.
"Not here," I said quietly, nodding toward the nearby coffee shop.
Cameron stepped forward, his jaw tightening, but Sam turned to him.
"It's okay," she assured him, her voice wavering.
"Watch the kids. I'll be right back."
She touched his arm, and my stomach twisted at the intimate gesture.
As we walked in silence toward the coffee shop, I noticed she still twisted her wedding ring, leaving red marks on her finger.
The weight of the unsent letter hung between us, a silent testament to the years and words left unspoken.
Once inside the coffee shop, we found a small table in the corner, the letter still clutched in my hand.
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the hum of afternoon chatter.
Sam's eyes never left the envelope, her hands shaking as she ordered a chamomile tea.
I opted for black coffee, needing the bitter taste to ground me in reality.
As we waited for our drinks, we sat in silence, the only sound being the rustle of the envelope as I turned it over in my fingers.
The unspoken questions hung between us like a heavy fog.
Only time would tell if this reunion would bring healing or heartache.
As we sat there, the letter resting on the small table, I couldn't help but wonder what secrets it held.
And what consequences would unfold once its words were finally revealed? The middle-aged woman with silver-streaked hair approached our table hesitantly, her eyes fixed on the letter that lay between us.
Her gaze flicked to me briefly before settling back on Sam.
She cleared her throat to announce her presence.
"May I...join you?"
Sam looked up at her in surprise, then nodded slightly, her eyes wide with curiosity.
I remained silent, gripping the envelope tightly as if it held some deep secret.
The woman pulled out an empty chair from a nearby table and settled into it comfortably.
She leaned forward slightly, her gaze still fixed on the letter.
"I couldn't help but notice," she began gently, "the letter you have there."
Her voice was soft and melodic, but her words hung heavy in the air.
"It's old. Very old."
Sam's grip on her cup tightened as she met my gaze briefly before looking back at our new companion.
"Yes. It is," she whispered.
The woman's eyes sparkled with intrigue as she reached into her purse and pulled out a business card.
It read 'Lily Rose' with a title beneath: 'Certified Handwriting Analyst.'
"I'm a handwriting analyst," she explained smoothly.
"I've studied the art of handwriting for years. I've never seen script like this before."
I raised an eyebrow skeptically at this sudden turn of events.
It was quite a coincidence that a handwriting analyst happened to be sitting nearby and notice our conversation. Sam's eyes lit up with curiosity as she leaned forward, her voice filled with wonderment.
"Really? Can you tell us something about who wrote it?"
The woman's smile widened as she reached for the envelope.
I hesitated, then handed it over, knowing the past was about to unravel.
