Corners of My Mind [Valentine's Extravaganza Letter]

Valentine's Day, a day of love and romance for many, or at least the thoughts of such, expressed through letters and gifts. In his home, Henrex quietly sat at a table, his fingers gently drummed against the pen.

There were a few people that he could write to on a day like this, perhaps not all of them exactly befitting of the season. In time, he would get to them. For now, at least, there was one that drew his attention above all the rest. The tip of the pen pressed against the paper, and he began to write.

Thara,

It's been a while since we've seen one another, hasn't it? It's hard to believe it's been almost two years since we met, and a year since the one that I spent with you, albeit partly involuntary. Even in that whole year I spent with you, I still have fond memories.

You showered me in praise, inquired about my life, listened so intently when I told stories, or really, anything. You were so kind to me, it almost felt alien to experience. For the first time in a long while, I felt loved and cared for, and I felt that I could trust you.

Yet, what you did, hurt, tremendously. You left me, alone, breaking the promise you made, swearing on your life and everything you stood for that you wouldn't repeat what others had done to me before. Perhaps I'm being unreasonable, feeling like this.

Yet, I wouldn't be, if our relationship meant nothing to me. I think, that is what I'm trying to say, I think that is what's most important here.

When you're able, we should talk. I feel like we both have something to say, and I don't believe that we should wait much longer. At the very least, we have a lot of catching up to do.

Yours truly,
Henrex Astillon

For a while, he contemplated sending the letter at all. Perhaps, some things were best left alone. Yet, something nagged at him to send this, to reach out and seek closure of their complicated relationship. So, standing up and folding the paper into thirds, the half-breed tucked it safely in an envelope, ready to send the letter to the Lady of Glittering Gold, a woman that, even with everything that she had done, managed to capture his attention, and to some degree, his heart.
