Two Different Worlds

38: He

September 19

Dearest Miss Jock,

I saw that dreadful ex of mine talking you down in the hallways.

I was about to intervene, but you have me a look that made me back off.

I saw courage, hope, and determination in those beautiful black eyes.

I realized that while you take what she says to heart and let it destroy you, you don't want to fight back, lest you hurt her.

I know what you can do. If you fight back, that girl might never walk again.

My pride in you only grew, my darling.
