A Final Goodbye
The sound of the door slamming closed echoed like a heartless farewell. I was alone yet unconcerned, and instead of terror, I felt my heart pounding with anticipation. I sensed the start of something new as I stood there, my entire life still ahead of me. My chest was filled with hope rather than sorrow or grief. This was the beginning of a journey I had planned for a long time, waiting for the ideal moment to depart, so it wasn’t the end.
A Final Goodbye
A Timely Arrival
Just as planned, my note arrived in their mailbox at lunchtime the following day. I had carefully arranged to arrive at their location by twelve o’clock using the overnight express. Knowing that they would hear what I had to say while still feeling victorious from yesterday was a minor success. The fact that I was leaving had barely registered, and I was probably still drinking coffee. They would soon discover, though, that I was better prepared than they had thought. That envelope contained my future, sealed and waiting to be found.
A Timely Arrival
