Her ex-husband, Robert, had sent the letter, apologizing for his infidelity, the cause of their divorce a lifetime ago. A strange lightness lifted her. She remembered the pain, the betrayal, but somehow, it felt distant now. Instead of anger or bitterness, she saw the flawed, vulnerable man she had once loved. She imagined Robert alone, and his remorse. She decided to forgive him.
