There's a park near the river where I usually eat lunch when I'm downtown for the day. I spend most of the time feeding the pigeons.
Today I spent most of my time staring at the envelope laid next to me on the park bench. There was a warm spring breeze and I half hoped it would lift up the envelope and carry it away. Now I wished I'd left the number ten with the manly scrawl right where I'd found it because it was getting harder and harder to resist lifting the letter from inside and giving it a quick read. I checked my watch. Twenty minutes to go before I needed to be back at work. Twenty minutes to stare at the letter. Twenty minutes to resist temptation. Twenty minutes--and how's this for cheap symbolism?--during which the sky went from cloudless blue to dark and ominous. By now, I'd pretty much decided that the letter had to be from a man. Otherwise, why would Laura have hidden it in her drawer? I'd also decided that it must contain something pretty incriminating. Had she been having an affair with somebody? Was she thinking of running away with somebody?
