Fuck, Piper! I loved you, but fuck it. You know, my mom always used to say no regrets, no excuses. I guess that says a lot about why I am who I am. I won’t regret you, Piper. No matter how it ended. Maybe you were right to leave…I’m toxic and we’re shit together despite how much I love you. And just for the record, it was never just about the sex for me, though I loved fucking you, too. Listen, kid, do me favor…don’t come back. In a way I’m glad you got out now before we totally fucking hated each other. Go do something with your life…use your degree, write a book, or make some fucking artisanal soap. Whatever…just make it count. No regrets, Pipes, no excuses.

Ever yours,

Alex

God knows how many there had been…too many…too many to just be considered work, though. That much she knew and, yet she had stayed even when she knew they all hated her for her position in Alex’s life, in Alex’s bed.

She rested her head back against the seat attempting to get comfortable. Fortunately, the plane had leveled out now. She wished she could just go to sleep and wake up with all of the answers. Though, she knew that was too much to ask. Eventually, she did fall asleep and when the attendant woke her to notify her of the plane’s descent, there were still no answers, but she was assured of one thing. Alex may be rolling over, but she certainly wasn’t
