Where to Begin

«Yale tended to wait a few days before opening a letter. He'd sit, finally, on Saturday morning with coffee, consider the thickness of the envelope, and finally slide a finger under the flap. He'd never written back. Not out of spite of stubbornness so much as the fact that he couldn't imagine where to begin.»

  1. For those who have not yet watched the short film “The Envelope” with Kevin Spacey (2012), I highly recommend watching it.
