Once upon a suicide note

The Crush

Sam stared down at the mahogany coffin that contained the recently deceased Xoella Mae Anderson. Like the father, he beat himself up over the death.

He wept for the poor, unfortunate, beautifully broken girl. The one who wouldn't get to see her own life.

Why didn't I know she loved me?

Sam screamed in emotional agony.

Why didn't I tell her I loved her?
