I sat down on the shiny seat of the cab as I told the driver where to go, he of course began to drive as I looked out the window watching the scenes pass by me house after house, shop after shop, until all I could see was my cousins estate, a huge palace like estate with anything you could wish for
Except for one thing.. A good husband,
When my cousin did marry I didn't expect anything else from her, she's one of the sweetest women you could ever meet but she loves the finer things in life diamonds, gold, huge estates like the one she resides in, but sometimes that keeps her in situations she shouldn't need to be in, like her husband for example.Ive known her husband since I was about seventeen I would say, my cousin had a relationship with another man where he used to love and send her letters,letters filled with sweet nothings and how he would start a family after the war had ended,but then he just stopped writing..and as the days passed she had lost hope more and more until finally she moved on to Tom, she came home with him for dinner one night and he charmed my family and was immediately accepted into our home and life's like we had known him since forever, I seemed to be the only one who didn't like him much, I dont know whether I was being just over protective or what but he just always had this attitude like he was better then everyone and could do whatever he wanted without a concequence or care in the world and it pissed me off,well when my cousin announced the marriage everone was excited,happy,so proud that she found someone to love and adore to start a family with, Everyone but me.
It's not that I hated him I just hated the way he treated her he acted as if he loved her showered her in jewels then leaved to go do the same to the women of the week told her what was happening and I tried to explain to her that he wasn't any good for her but of course she pretended like she didn't know a thing and they're relationship was rainbows and fairytales, it wasn't until her daughter Pammy came into the picture that I finally realized she was with him for good,still I always wondered what happened to that man who used to send her letters, whenever she read them to me,the words were so kind and deep a kind of love that is only seen in sappy romance novels ,but I feel for them every word she read I loved the man in those pages even more.
I know it seems stupid and wrong but I couldn't help myself the letters told of love, andloss stories that just made my want to cry but I knew that she loved him and he did love her,I just don't know why he stopped writing,I pray he did not die in that war and that he made a new life somewhere,there are only so many good people left in this world it would be a shame to let him leave this world.
The cab stopped and I payed the driver giving him the money I had extra which was little at the time as a tip. As I stepped out I was greted by Tom "(Y/n)! It's been awhile" he said hugging me his hands lingering twords my lower back I pushed him back feeling uncomfortable "I'm here to see Daisy" I looked at the huge estate before returning my gaze to him at him "of course" he said leading my to the doors of the mansion.
