He had been enjoying a quiet evening at home when the letter arrived. The handwriting on the envelope was elegant, familiar, and the return address caused him to feel a sudden wave of nausea. He took a long, steadying breath.

He flung the letter into the fireplace, and watched the paper curl and blacken in the flames.
