Our Happily Ever After

Chapter 69: Dear...

Sylvanna's POV:

I went with Eric back to our home on Lover's Lane, thinking about what could be in the letter the entire time we were walking. We finally got home and I went upstairs to read the letter while Eric cooked dinner. I went to the bathroom first to splash water on my face, since it was a long day and night, then sat down on my bed with the letter in my hand. It felt like forever just starring at the envelope.

I sighed as I finally decided to open it. I took out the paper and unfolded it, hesitating to read what it said.

"C'mon, Sylvanna. Just get it over with.", I told myself and began to read the letter.

It read:

"Dear Sylvanna,

I'm guessing that you haven't torn this up already. But before you do, I just want to say that I'm not writing to take you back. I know that what I did was wrong, and that can't be forgiven. And I know leaving and giving you this note isn't the best way to show that I'm sorry. I know that you have moved on already, and I'm okay with that, as long as the man you're with now gives you more respect than I have. I have been a terrible boyfriend and father. I want you to take care of Aph for me and let her know that I will be there when she needs me.

Sincerely,

Zack."

I sat there looking at the letter. I actually couldn't believe he wrote all of that. Hmph, I guess, people can change.

Aphmau's POV:

Aaron walked into the house after talking with my mom and came up into our room, saying he wanted to give me something. He handed me a lilac envelope and I opened it. I was from my father.

It read:

"Dear Aphmau,

I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer. But if I'm in jail then it would make it harder for me to come to your big day now, wouldn't it? I haven't been the best dad before, and I'm going to try my best to fix that. I've made a lot of mistakes and I made one of the biggest when you were a child. Just know that whenever you need me I'll be there.

You're Dad,

Zack"

"*sigh*, Thanks Aaron.", I said as I put the letter down on the night table.

I sat down on the bed after putting away my ears and tail and Aaron did the same. I took some of my hair and started then stroking it smooth over and over with my hand and laid my head on Aaron's shoulder.

"What's wrong babe?", he asked.

"Things keep going wrong. After we fix one another pops up.", I said looking at some of the pictures we had in the room.

"Yeah but, we always push through them and come out victorious. We're going to fix the problems we have now and then everything will be okay.", Aaron said kissing my forehead.

"...Yeah."

"Let's head down for dinner. I'm starving.", he standing up and reaching his hand out to help me up.

I took his hand and went downstairs. I thought about what he said. He's right, we will get through this. And when the clouds clear that is when we will have our happily ever after.
