Most of me believed she wouldn't show up today, but a small part of me still held out hope. Which means, obviously, she isn't coming. Which means she's had twenty-one hours to spare and she's still not here. It's been almost twenty-four hours since I saw her pick up the manuscript and close her door. If she started the manuscript right after I dropped it off, she would have finished the first section by 3 a.m.īut it's almost midnight. ![]() She could have easily read 23,000 words in three hours. There are roughly 23,000 words in the first five chapters, before she would have gotten to the note. ![]() There were 83,456 words in the manuscript I dropped off at her front door last night. But if that doesn't happen and you never show, I'll still be grateful to you until the day I die." Every November 9th I'll wait for you, hoping one day you'll be able to find enough forgiveness to love me again. "And if you don't show up today, I'll be there next year. ![]()
