Eva paced anxiously for the post man.
He arrived and she took the letter from him.
The flowery stamp indicated it was from Mike, her fiancé.

She tore the seal flap and opened the note.
Mike wrote he had found someone.
Eva broke down in tears.

Sorry, out of BEER, please retry later...

Wow! This is such a sad letter because it was another thing she would be expecting in the content of the letter. Sorry!

Lol, sorry for Eva.
She was expecting a love letter but got a breakup letter! 😄

The ultimate Dear Jane letter. So sad.

Exactly! 😄
Thanks for reading.

That is so sad. He could at least have told her in person. Actually, you know what? I take it back. She is better off without a man too cowardly or unkind to deliver such news in person. Even if he is far away, he could have waited or telephoned. You know?

Hahaha! I know! Mike wasn't bold enough to face Eva, so he hid behind his letter. Poor Eva.
Thanks so much for reading. 😊

How sad. The stated stamp on the letter, and the misdirection, and then the unstated one on her heart. Very clever writing @kemmyb 🙌

Thank you so much for reading. 🙂

So sad ... so compactly and perfectly written...

Quite sad indeed. Hehe, thanks for your comment. !LADY !CTP
