At the class reunion, someone asked the former top student:

“Claire, we’re all in our thirties now, and everyone who should be married is married, so why are you still single?”

Claire Summers smiled faintly.

“I’m still waiting for the person I gave my love letter to when I was eighteen to write me back.”

As she spoke, she looked toward Ethan Carter, who was sitting beside me, and her eyes slowly turned red.

Ethan froze and murmured,

“I never received it…”

The truth from back then slowly began to unravel.

It turned out Claire’s letter had been delivered to the wrong place.

It was that tiny mistake that kept them from being together.

The room instantly erupted with teasing.

“You and him were seriously the couple I shipped the hardest back then! I was so upset when Lily cut in later.”

“Lily totally took advantage of the situation, and you clearly knew Ethan first.”

“A love letter just happened to be put in the wrong place? Don’t you think… someone switched it on purpose?”

Everyone in the room turned to look at me.

Amid the noise, I gently touched the man beside me and asked in a low voice,

“Honey, they’re saying I got between you two back then, so what do you think?”
