The letter, addressed to her best friend, was a confessional of sorts, detailing a hidden rivalry. The words were a monument to a past filled with jealousy and resentment. The revelation shook her, and she felt a wave of nausea. She tossed the letter on the floor, then kicked it again and again, until it was a pulpy mess. The remnants of the letter were swept up with a broom, and thrown into the bin. The feeling, however, lingered like an unshakeable ache.
