“Amends” by L Moon

Good morning, it’s been awhile since we talked but I’m in town until next week. I wanted to know if you wanted to get coffee or something and catch up?

We had that kind of cordial greeting like two acquaintances who ran in the same circles of mutual friends but had never formally met. There was something so familiar about you even though I knew we had never met. We both took a leap that day. A chance on one another. I trusted you in a wa...
