Major Adrian Vale
I stared at the sender.
Then opened it.
The message was brief.
His family was hosting Christmas at Cedarcrest Estate outside Bellmere.
He had recently become engaged.
Her name was Vanessa Cole.
He wrote that enough time had passed.
That we were both adults.
That perhaps we could finally put the unpleasantness of our divorce behind us.
And then came the line that told me exactly why he had written.
Vanessa would like to meet the woman who was once such an important part of my life.
