The Past Between Us novel Chapter 38

To: Megan

From: Hunter (Your Devilishly Handsome Brother)

Hey Megs.

Happy Birthday baby sister!

I always talk to you on your birthday. You didn't think I'd break the tradition, did you?

Okay fine.

I admit, writing a letter was Scarlett's idea.

I have so much to tell you Megan. I don't know where to begin.

It's almost been a year since Scarlett and I moved here. We finally bought the house last month.

I's kind of small but its right next to the beach and Scarlett loves it, and honestly that's all that really matters.

Everything is so perfect Megan. I wish you were here with me.

Every morning I wake up and find Scarlett beside me, I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. She smiles when she wakes up and sees me. The sun streams in through the windows, and God does Scarlett look beautiful in the sunlight. It always leaves me breathless.

I'm so in love Megan. It's scary sometimes, but not in a bad way.

I will never take anything in my life for granted. Not even the small things. Especially not the small things. I've realized that there's so much beauty in the small things I do, like telling Scarlett about my day, laughing about pointless things with her, kissing her before I leave for work.

Beauty, it's all around us. We just need to look closer.

Oh by the way. Did I tell you? I opened up my own Motorcycle service garage. I get to work with motorcycles all day! (I can imagine you scrunching up your nose in disgust right now, because you hate grease). The money is okay, and I can only afford to hire three mechanics right now, but I absolutely love working there.

We visit our friends and family back at home often. Jace is doing pretty well. Him and Danielle are coming over next week and Scarlett hasn't stopped smiling ever since Danielle called and told her.
