It was in Gabriel's handwriting.
He wrote, "Natalie, I'm sorry. Actually, I turned around and saw you that day. But Tiff was crying and saying she was scared, so I didn't come back for you. The greatest regret of my life is always believing that you would forgive me."
After I finished reading it, I put the letter back into the box. I didn't cry, nor did I write back. When I got off work that evening, I casually threw the old umbrella into the dumpster downstairs.
