Special Delivery
Annie sat at her desk,
writing a letter to Brody Delaney.
She nibbled on the end of her pen
knowing they couldn't go back again.
He had Bella and she had Bart,
but she still had his paper heart.
Into the envelope went the letter.
Annie slipped the paper heart in after.
A little wrinkled now, but still intact.
It was a miracle it had survived, in fact.
The next time she left the boat,
she posted the note
and left it at Brody's hotel room door.

Brody couldn't take anymore
Arrived at his room and found, a note on his door.
Written in Annie's flourishing script
Though exhausted, curiosity made him open it.
Inside the said,

Brody sighed at what he read.
Too many thought going through his head.
But before he allowed himself to go to bed.
He decided to jot down a reply
Not daring to examine why
He looked at the trampled
but otherwise perfect heart
And suddenly tore off a part

He hoped Bart appreciates all he's gained.
(the next part he wrote though it caused him pain)

He went down to the front desk
Asked that the sealed letter be
Delivered to the Annie on the
Liberty Belle.
"What's done is done.
Time for some rest."
God, he felt like hell.
