My Dear Regret: Chapter Twenty-Three (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chapter Twenty-Three Alex called. I was making a cappuccino when my phone rang, but I almost missed the call due to how lost in my own mind I had become. It was the ringing that made me realize how long I had been stirring a singular sugar cube into my coffee. Seeing his name felt like glimpsing into a time capsule. It had been over a year since we had spoken and I honestly didn’t have a reason as to why. Part of me wanted to ignore the call. I don’t think I was ready to admit how much I had cha

All he asked of Margret was for her to behave, for once.”As soon as she spoke that word, I took my gaze to my lap. I couldn’t help but think of how many times you had asked me to behave over the years. I used to laugh at it, but now I realize I had simply misse
My Dear Regret: Chapter Nineteen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone arrived at least fifteen minutes past six, which I found to be incredibly inconvenient, as I told you. I had perfectly timed each of the courses and your friends’ lack of regard for my time had caused me to become quite frazzled. I had made a gorgeous display of shrimp cocktail along with a beautiful grazing board to compliment the pre-dinner cocktails I had planned.
