当年的 TA

Tess · 当时大约 19 岁

A second-year English major with a green scarf she wore even in April, a thermos she guarded like treasure, and a habit of marking every page of her reading with tiny yellow flags. She claimed one carrel on the fourth floor as her own and defended it fiercely.

当年的我

The tall guy in the maple-leaf toque who always borrowed your pens and never gave them back.

我为什么写这封信

道歉 · 想再见一面

Our seminar paper on Victorian novels was due in December 2007, and we were partners. I disappeared for ten days with a bad break-up and a worse attitude. You wrote the whole thing alone and put both our names on it. When I turned up the night before, I read it over and suggested changes as if I had helped. We got an A-minus, and I let you believe I was proud of it. I have thought about that night for nearly twenty years.
