James rubbed his cheek and sighed. Damn. She should have opened up to him about this! He made a fist and continued to read.
As I grew older, my life was about to take a major turn. I never told you this, but I spent some time in 72 hour hold. I was committed for attempted suicide—but you see, I never did that. I told you about my uncle, but not about how he drugged me so that I could be committed and discredited. I guess he thought that this was a way for him to regain his life—instead it marked the end of it.
In the meantime, I had been forewarned about the events to come. Call it dejavu, precognition, or whatever you want. But my guardian angel led me to the vision of myself in restraints and appearing insane. It shook me. It wasn’t the first time my Angel showed me the future. I suppose at this point you are thinking that I am nuts and that’s fine.
Because one day you won’t think I’m crazy.
In this envelope is another envelope. It hasn’t been opened since I sealed it over 20 years ago. It tells you in detail about…my Angel and about being committed even before it happened. I want you to read the letter and I hope that you will understand why I had to go away when the time came for me to join Angel outside of my dreams but in reality.
“…the fuck?”
That part of my story is really just between he and I, but there is a part of this story that is just for you, James. You see I went to sleep the other night and I saw you. I want to tell you what I saw. You were riding a motorcycle. It seemed that you lived from it or maybe had been travelling for a long time.
You decided to walk to the beach and to watch the sunset and you were standing there alone when you saw something in the water. I didn’t know what it was but you began running into the ocean and you dragged out a half dead body. You saved that girl’s life James! She got swept away in the undertow and you saved her. You’re going to find that she is another who has had to face some tragic events and though there is a journey…I promise you that there is an eventual happily ever after.
You’ll have to take care of her, James. In one year I’m sending you the papers to purchase the bakery. Right now you still won’t take it, I already know this.
James growled. “You are certifiably insane, Leslie…” but he continued to read. And he knew that he would open up the older envelope and devour every word that she had written. Still…how could she have guessed at his plans to ride again…? He read the last line of the letter about four times.
Take care. You will be happy. I’ve seen it.

About the Author
~***~
Pepper Pace writes romance stories with steamy eroticism, humor and warmth. She enjoys writing, as well as reading about unlikely romances and interracial relationships. Her characters are painfully real and just like in reality, sometimes their stories make you cry, sometimes they make you laugh and when Pepper turns up the passion it becomes very steamy!
She has described her stories as ‘out of the box’ because she is intrigued by the unusual. Stories about perfect people offers very little excitement for Pepper, which is why she has woven a world rich with anti-heroes, the insecure, the angry and always redemption.
Pepper lives in Cincinnati Ohio with her teenage son and daughter…as do most of her characters.
