Part 2: Whispers in the Wind

A year passed.

Eli never spoke of the encounter at Darrow Lake to anyone. Some stories aren’t meant for
noise. Some belong to silence — the kind you find in old books, abandoned homes, and the
spaces between heartbeats.

But the town hadn’t forgotten.

On July 16 the next year, the local paper published a short, anonymous note in the
“Memories” section:

To the one I never stopped loving:


Your letter found me.
Your wait was not in vain.

Most people ignored it.

Eli didn’t.

He clipped the note and tucked it into the Emily Dickinson book from the library. Mrs.
Hargrove had gifted it to him after hearing about his meeting with Evelyn — or rather, the
woman who used to be her. “Maybe some stories deserve to be passed on,” she had said.

Later that summer, Eli went back to number 42. The house was still crumbling, but
something had changed.

The mailbox was gone.

In its place stood a new one — black and glossy — with a gold number plate: 42.

He stood there for a moment, unsure why he felt… sad.

Then he noticed a faint sound — paper rustling.

Behind the old wooden fence, by the door, a woman stood.

It wasn’t Evelyn. This woman was younger, maybe in her forties. She waved.

“You’re Eli?” she called.

He blinked. “Yeah?”
She walked over. “My mother told me about you. Before she passed away last winter.”

Eli’s breath caught. “I’m… I’m sorry.”

“She always wanted to come back to this house. Said it held the happiest and saddest pieces
of her life. So, after she was gone, I bought it back. It was abandoned, but… I think it was
waiting.”

She handed him a small, sealed envelope. “She left this for you.”

His hands trembled as he opened it.

Dear Eli,

If you’re reading this, it means the letter you found did more than find me. It healed
something I thought was lost forever. I never thanked you properly — not just for bringing
me back to James, but for bringing me back to myself.

James never sent that letter. I asked around. It was never mailed. He must’ve written it and
placed it there, hoping I’d find it one day. And you… you made that happen.

Thank you for believing in forgotten things.

With love,
Evelyn

Tears welled in Eli’s eyes. Not from sadness — but from the kind of beauty that feels like
grief in disguise.

As he left the house that day, the wind picked up gently. It carried no sound, no voice, and
yet he swore it whispered something as it passed.

Something like:
Forever only ends when you stop waiting.

And Eli, the boy who loved forgotten places, knew now that some things — some people,
some promises — are never really lost.

They’re just waiting to be found.
