Letters after Goodbye

G. Nelle others

For three years, Mika Reyes has been waiting for the man who left her.
Derek Santos disappeared from her life with nothing but a short message and a thousand unanswered questions. Three days later, he moved to Canada—or at least, that’s what Mika remembers.
But Derek never truly stopped coming back.
Every fifteenth of the month, a yellow envelope appears in Mika’s box. No return address. Sometimes, no stamp. Just the same familiar handwriting, the faint scent of his perfume, and words that keep her holding on.
Kumain ka na ba?
Namiss kita.
Mahal pa rin kita.
Thirty-six months. Thirty-six letters.
And Mika has kept every single one.
While everyone around her believes she should finally move on, Mika knows something they don’t: Derek still writes to her. And as long as the letters keep coming, a part of her believes that one day, he will come home.
Until the thirty-sixth letter arrives.
That morning, Mika receives a message from an unknown number.
STOP OPENING THE LETTERS.
Suddenly, the love letters she once treasured become pieces of a mystery she can no longer ignore. The postmarks don’t make sense. Memories begin contradicting one another. Her best friend is hiding something. And the deeper Mika searches for the truth about Derek, the more she begins to question the one thing she has trusted for the past three years—
her own memory.
Because sometimes, the hardest goodbye isn't the one we never got to say.
It's the one our heart refuses to remember.
*Letters After Goodbye is a psychological romance mystery about love, grief, memory, and the lies we tell ourselves when the truth hurts too much to survive.
