Chapter 32
Ryder,
It’s been five months since I saw you. I promised I wouldn’t come back, and I keep my promises.
One of us should.
I got the last of my college letters today. Acceptances, every single one. You’d probably tease me about that. Call me a nerd or a know-it-all.
I’m so ready to leave. It doesn’t feel like it matters, where I go.
There’s no way for me to tell if you’re getting these letters, but I think that you are. I’ve been making excuses for why you’re not responding, but I’m running out of them.
I hope you’re okay. I’m sure it’s hard, where you are.
And I hope it haunts you, how you ended things. If that’s terrible for me to say, I don’t really care. You broke my heart. So, here’s another promise: you never will again.
You got your wish. We’re over. I guess we’re a cat’s game.
