Bill began to put it over to the side of the chair, but she stopped him with a giggle. “No, you’re supposed to open it,” the little girl admonished him. Bill chuckled appreciatively. “How silly of me. Alright, let’s see…” he looked at the label and read it, “from Eliza to Dad.” Eliza’s father smiled, then slit apart the tape and tore off the wrapping of the medium-sized box. Lifting the lid, he said, “Alright! New golf shoes,” he smiled warmly at Eliza. “Thanks, baby.”

I'm writing you this letter to inform you that my papa died today. I did not cry. Tears are only intended for the weak. My mama and little brother needed me no. And it's the best time for me to step up as the family's big man. Though I still saw myself as a little man, I left no choice. Lastly, I wanted to ask one last favour from you. Please, forget about me and I'll do the same thing for you. Don't waste your time sending me letters because I will never get back to the seashore anymore. You have your duties and responsibilities to your pack. So do I to mine. Goodbye, Joshua. " -End of the letter.

A smile instantly graced his face at the sight of crayoned handwriting, the spelling errors and backwards letters stretching it wider. ‘Deer Alex, mommy is helping write this letter coz I still cant rit nicely. I miss u and so does mom. Every1 is supper nice nd I can figt. I hope 2 see u soon. Lov u’ Alex let his finger run over the big heart sitting at the end of the letter, reading over it a bunch of times. He really missed his mum and Jamie. The last he’d seen from them was at his funeral and that time was fleeting. “I wonder when I can go see her,” Alex sighed, folding the paper, tucking it into his pocket.

“Ben will see you out. Your termination letter and the few belongings you left here will be sent to your home.” “Goodbye, Laura.”

But now, the thought of facing them felt like too much. “Thank you,” I said quietly, taking the envelopes. I carried them to my room, sitting on the edge of the bed as I stared at the colorful array of letters. Each one was carefully decorated with small, clumsy drawings and bright colors, a testament to the effort the children had put into them. With trembling hands, I opened the first letter. “Dear Luna Evelyn,” it read in uneven handwriting. “We are so sorry about your baby. We love you and hope you feel better soon. Love, Ben.”

This had to be another trick I was playing to force him to come back! However, when he stumbled to the cliff's edge, Eli and several other werewolves had already gathered there. Seeing him, they all silently stepped aside to make way. His gaze fixed on the familiar coat at the cliff's edge, held down by a rock with a piece of paper beneath it. That coat was the first gift he had ever given me. The paper was my supposed suicide note. He knew that handwriting all too well, and every word cut through his heart like a knife.

Alex stared at her, speechless. Mrs. Okeke reached into her bag again, pulled out a small white envelope, and placed it on the table before him. “That’s my resignation letter,” she said. “What?” Alex’s voice cracked. “You can’t—” “I can,” she said softly. “And I must.” She sighed deeply, her eyes glistening. “It has been an honor working here. But I can’t watch this empire burn any longer.” Alex’s hand trembled slightly as he picked up the envelope. He opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out.

She just smiled softly, without a trace of warmth. There was a bit of provocation in that smile, and even more pride. She had won so completely. She deserved to be proud. Kayla reached out to open the gift box on the table. "Let's all have some cake." Unexpectedly, Lawrence, who had been calm throughout the negotiations, rushed to stop her. "Don't. You're allergic to peanut butter. Let me check it first." At that moment, the scene in front of me turned into sharp blades, tearing straight through me.

“Mrs. Darlene said it’s for a special party!” Elijah didn’t say a word, just lingered at my side, his eyes fixed on me as if gauging my reaction. I took the envelope, the faint scent of chalk dust and glue clinging to the paper, and slid a finger under the flap. Inside was an invitation printed with a looping gold script—an event for the kindergarten’s upcoming festival.

The one Adia had filled in with messy handwriting and tape and stickers. First smile: Day 12. Photo of Lila drooling on Kael’s shirt. First word: Day 41. “Mama.” Kael had underlined it three times. Day 87: Photo of Lila asleep on his chest. Under it, Adia’s handwriting. _He finally slept too._ Tucked in the back, a folded note. _Kael, I’m not good at goodbye. So this isn’t one. Unless you want it to be. -A_
