I've been agonising over how to start this letter for weeks now, and even now I'm not entirely sure that it's going to come out right. However, I feel that this needs to be said. I don't think you understand exactly what happened that day by the lake.

Her eyes had been sparkling and excited. She'd looked pleased with herself when he had reached over and tucked a stray curl behind her ear, her mouth lifting up into the crooked smile she'd used to flash at you when you were children. JPLE, onesided SSLE.
