Chapter 14

Brent

When Laura returns, I take the car to start working in the field.Glancing sideways, I notice a piece of paper on the passenger seat. It has been folded several times and stuck between the seat and backrest. I believe Jack was there when Laura took him to the airport.

"Aiden ..."

It was a point when I should have stopped reading this note, but when I saw the name, my eyes ran down the lines even faster.

“I'm sorry” - this line has been crossed out several times.

“I wanted to see you and talk, but I didn't know what to say. Your brother is right in many ways, and we know too little about each other, and I'm not sure I'm ready for more, and neither are you.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Please do not think that everything that happened between us meant nothing to me.

I'm sorry". This line wasn't crossed out. But there was one more line at the very end of the letter. Jack blacked it out carefully, so I can't make out what was there.

What did he want to hide?
