The contents
In the chest there was a letter. Tears raced down her cheeks as she began reading it. On the paper it read, in Paul’s handwriting, the following:
Dear Cindy,
If you’re reading this, I’m already gone. While I always want to be with you, there will come a day when one of us has to leave the other. Maybe someday I’ll be forced to dig up this chest and you’ll never read this letter, but for in the case that I leave you, I’m writing you this letter.
Last week you confronted me about the fact that I was going out to lunch with a blonde woman pretty often. You were afraid that I was having an affair. While this is not the case, I did lie to you. This woman is not an important client.
This blonde woman is a representative at our bank. I wanted to ensure that if you ever have to experience the pain of loss, this is the only pain you will ever have to suffer from again. You know that last year (as I’m writing this), my mother passed away. She left me a large sum of money which I have put in a special safe that will be kept at our bank. On top of this sum, I will add money to the safe every month for as long as I live.
In this chest you will find a key next to the letter. Show this key to an employee at the bank and he’ll give you access to the safe.
Love,
Your Paul
