The Promised Reunion

A Letter, A Girl

     After the incident at the gallery Ib and I kept in touch, but a couple months later I had to leave for college. When I tried to give Ib her hanker chief back she kept insisting that I keep it. "It's a good luck charm, and an excuse to why you have to come back and visit!" Ib said with a smile. It was fall and it was my last week of school before I became a full fledged doctor. I was surprised to come back to my dorm to a letter that Ib had sent:
     Dear Garry,
It's been a while hasn't it? I hope you are doing well. I heard you are almost finished with school. So does that mean you will finally come and visit? I really miss you. I was thinking we could hang out once you get back. We could maybe visit the gallery or get macaroons or go to the park, it's up to you. Anyways send me a letter soon ok?
               Love,
                      Ib
"The gallery huh?" I thought to myself, "I'm surprised she isn't afraid to go back there, I'm 25 and it STILL scares me whenever I think of it." I said out loud. I didn't realize that my roommate was just staring at me with a weird look on her face. "HANNAH! HOW MUCH DID YOU HEAR?!" I shouted at her. " Well all of it and that includes the letter too, man you should really stop reading and saying stuff out loud if you don't want to be embarrassed." She said. "Ya ya I know" I said while blushing. Surprisingly she didn't say anything about Ib, even though she usually is constantly prying about my life. "So are you going home after graduation?" Hannah said. "I kind of have to, there is someone I have to see." I said. " Ib right? I presume a lover of yours" Hannah said. "L-l-lover? No no no no nothing like that just a friend I mean I'm 25 she's only 16 hahahahahaha." I said. "Riiiiiigggghhhhht" Hannah said. Love Ib? I thought to myself. She was only 9 when we met, there's no way I could love her... Right?
