A letter

To The friend who did not come to the wedding

Hopeful

Listen

You said you had food poisoning. I knew you didn't. I have known for fourteen years. I have never asked. I am not going to. I just want you to know that I noticed and that I let it go. Both things. They are both true. The friendship survived. That is the part that matters.
