Chapter 40

CHAPTER FORTY

G atsby,

You scare me.

Have I ever told you that?

I’m afraid of how you make me feel and what you make me believe.

Even when I hated you, you made me believe that I could conquer the world. You have that kind of power, and I was afraid that if I gave it to you again, I’d stop being Maia Ocampo.

Maybe this time, it might be different. No one can predict the future, but we can make the best of it, can’t we?

Love,

Maia

PS I’ll be home next week.
