A Thing of the Past
"Ivy, you know how stubborn I can be. I wanted to prove to you that 18-year-old Rodney could keep loving you. For five years, ten years, twenty years…
"But, when you see this letter, I guess it means my love for you has reached its final rest.
"I never regained the memories from when I was 28, but images of you, pale and frail, kept popping up in my mind. I guess I must've really, deeply hurt you.
"Ivana Fletcher, the 18-year-old Rodney Luther really, really loves you. And he'll keep loving you for a very, very long time."
