No matter how much the brothers hated Jace, they could not help but be impressed by
his calligraphy. “Who would’ve thought that Jace’s handwriting would be so pretty? If you were to
compare his handwriting with mine, it would make mine look like some kid’s illegible handwriting”, said
Luther.
“Shhh,” shushed Seth.
Sage, I still miss you.
‘I went to the Skye Hotel and met Captain Yale, the captain of flight Y1106.
‘I don’t know why, but I felt an odd sense of familiarity when I first saw him. It was almost as if I’d met
him before.
“Just as I was about to go and thank him for saving you, I suddenly felt anxious. I didn’t understand
why I felt anxious then, but after having an illuminating conversation with Captain Yale, I finally
understood the root of my anxiousness. I was nervous because he reminded me of the competition I
had faced.
‘When Yoel announced that he was pursuing you, I paid him no heed because I knew that he wasn’t
your type, but after I met Captain Yale, I knew he was different.
‘When he told me that he came to Salem to do you a favor, the anxiousness only became worse
‘I dreamt about you last night. ‘In that dream, Captain Yale was there, and you were resting on his
shoulder. You never seemed so happy
‘I woke up in cold sweat. I finally knew what I was afraid of.
‘Captain Yale is currently in Room 88-the room right next to me.
‘I tried to talk with him man-to-man, and he told me outright that he wanted to be more than friends with
you. At that moment, my heart sank.
‘I’ve always considered myself to be better than everybody. I’ve never been one to be afraid of a bit of
competition. However, when it comes to you, I’m completely devoid of said confidence.
‘If he were to ask you out, I don’t know if you’d agree or not. After all, he saved you, and he’s your
brother’s friend. He’s also a veteran, and he’s quite handsome and mature.
“No! Just the very thought of you being together with him pains me to no end.
‘I know I have no grounds to stop you and him from getting together, but I can’t help it.
‘I feel I’ve grown more sentimental over these past six months. I’m no longer the rational person that I
once prided myself upon.
“Perhaps it’s because I finally know how it feels to lose something and how it is to want something that
I can never have.
‘I had a chance, and I blew it.
‘No matter what happens, I hope that you’ll be happy. You deserve happiness after all I put you through
‘I hope that all your days will be filled with joy and bliss, and you’ll forever be the little princess that has
the adoration of everybody around you.
‘I’ll do everything I can to ensure that your future is one of hope and joy, even at the expense of my
own life.
‘I know that Jekyll is returning to Torres soon. I will personally see that he won’t escape. He won’t have
the chance to cause you any more pain.
“You should also be returning soon.
‘I will be waiting for you in Salem.
‘In hopes of seeing you soon.
‘Jace.’
A drop of tear slowly rolled down Sage’s face and onto the paper, causing the ink to bleed,
“You liar… You said you’d wait for me. Where are you now?” asked Sage.
Sage stared blankly into the letter, trying to look for the face of the man she had loved all her life.
