Dear Anita,

I received an email from him today.  My heart was jumping out of my chest while I was trying to digest it. It was shocking that I was experiencing the abnormal heart rhythms. I can rule out that I don’t need to go see a cardiologist!  I was not angry but confused why he reached out after all this time. He asked  how I’m doing and hoped that I found peace.  He also told me that his mood is not great due to the weather. Then he went on to thank me for the wonderful times we shared and referenced a few funny events that occurred in a flirtatious manner. He made sure he made enough nice comments to solicit a response – not to say that he didn’t mean what he said.  Why three months later! I’m numb and don’t know what to say. I can’t leave it unanswered as peace is what I seek and we both deserve closure.
