Chapter 206 The Letter

• I stared at the letter in my hands the entire night, reading and rereading the words until they were practically burned into my brain. By morning, the paper had taken on a slightly crumpled appearance from how many times I had folded and unfolded it.
• By the time the sun rose, I wasn’t sure if I had gotten a wink of sleep. I certainly hadn’t returned to bed, although the night was such a blur that I couldn’t recall if I’d dozed off in the armchair in my study at some point or not.
