Tessa,

It’s been ten years and I still think about how I messed it up with you. I’m real sorry about that. If only I could turn back time and do things differently. I was such a punk when I was 16 years old and you were so sweet. Hopefully I didn’t damage you in any way, I’d feel real bad if I did. I wish we could’ve met now instead of back then. I can’t find you on social media which is weird, but it would be fun to catch up. I hope you found someone who treats you right. If not, you should know, I’m a better person than I was then. I read that book you told me about, The Secret History, I’d like to talk about it with you.

Love,
Daniel (Belmont High School Class of 2012, Dayton Ohio)
