The Letter The sound of the clap of the letterbox. The clean rip of an envelope being opened. The skimming of a letter. A few simple actions that changed everything. Laura felt her hand flutter to the doorpost as her knees weakened beneath her. Her breath caught in her throat as her heartbeat raced to a gallop and words leapt out of their sentences, synapses making searing connections in her brain. Forcing herself to calm down, she read the letter word for word. She waited a moment for the full impact of its contents to hit her. Abandoning the washing up in front of her, she stared at the children happily playing in the garden and had the strange sensation that her #life was starting to unravel.
