Prom night, meant to be a magical culmination of high school dreams, ended in heartbreak for me. Marcus, my first love, left without explanation, shattering my heart. For years, I had no idea why he disappeared. Fifteen years later, I attended a high school reunion where we unearthed a time capsule. Inside, I found a letter from Marcus. In it, he explained that the night of prom, his family was in danger due to his father’s financial troubles, and he had to leave abruptly to protect them. He couldn’t tell me at the time because he feared it would put me at risk, so he chose to walk away without a word. Reading the letter, I finally understood the truth behind his departure, which brought a sense of peace. Though we’d never be together, I was grateful to finally know why he left and to close that chapter of my life.
