7:42pmi've made it safely to my bedroom.
the letter, still in my hand, is bent now from how tightly i held onto it.
i go to the desk and pull the folded paper out of the white envelope.
i read it to myself one more time.
oh, reid. i wish i could just talk to you. there's so much to say
i go into my drawer and pull out a fresh piece of paper and a pen.
i take a deep breath, and then i start to write.
i am entirely lost in writing that i don't hear the footsteps coming up the stairs.
suddenly, the bedroom door swings open.
"what are you doing up here?"
oh shoot. he caught me. i have to come up with something quick
"i was just um—doing some journaling"
brian looks at me with suspicion.
"since when do you journal?"
"since recently. i heard it's good to clear your mind before bed"
i entirely make this up on the spot, but even i think it's pretty believable.
brian looks somewhat convinced but still has some reservations about him.
"what are you doing?"
"i just came upstairs to change. i wanted to get into some comfort clothes for the game"
"oh, right. of course"
brian walks into the closet and starts to unbutton his shirt.
i take this opportunity to shove reid's letter back in the desk drawer.
i pick up my pen and begin writing my letter, but it doesn't feel right with brian here.
i glance over at the closet door, which is open and see my husband half-naked.
stop looking, gabriella. you can't stare at your husband while he changes and write your ex-boyfriend a letter simultaneously
