Rennie got up and made her way to the kitchen,
waving the letter as she walked.
“What? What? Where are you going?” Tim jumped up
and followed her.
“Food. I need food.” She put the letter down on
the counter and pulled out a plate barely holding a mound of cheese slices and
a tangle of grapes. She broke off two grapes and stuffed them in her mouth. Tim
reached for the paper. Rennie shoved the plate in his hand instead. Plucking
the letter up, she pointing to the couch.
“Okay, okay.” He followed her out. When they were
ensconced on the plush sofa, he spoke.
“Comfortable?”
“Yep.”
“Good. The letter?”
“Oh, yeah. You want me to read it, right? Out
loud?”
He grabbed a slice of cheese. “Yes.”
“Okay.”
Tim leaned forward as she read.
“Dear Gwen,
You were right. I should have asked you to come
with me. I’m asking now. Yes, and proposing. Come to London. I’m leaving on the
QE2 on December 30. I’ve made arrangements for the captain to marry us.
I love you totally. I was stupid, a real jerk. Can
you forgive me? Meet me at Pier 90 on West 54th Street. We’re
boarding at noon. Sail away with me. We’ll have that adventure you always talk
about. And we’ll be married, so you parents can’t object.
Please, sweetheart. I love you. If you don’t show,
I’ll have my answer. There are no second chances. I’m sailing one way or the
other. So please, be there, come with me, and be my forever love.
All my love,
Bill
“Oh, shit.” Tim he fell back against the cushions.
“Ten days.” Rennie’s gaze met his. “We have ten
days to find her.”
