Richard thought he saw someone stir behind him. It was Remo.
"Ricardo, there was this piece of paper stuck to your shoe." Remo said unfolding the paper. "Dear caroline..." he read the paper. Richard just about died in his chair. Unfortunately Caroline heard every word. Remo put the letter down and left like a bat out of heck.
"Richard. You wrote that? When?" Caroline asked.
"The night before the night before the week before the wedding." Richard said. I thought you were gona marry Del so I left. I left the letter in a thank you note box but then changed my mind but never found the letter till i got back and you had given the box to your friend."
"Do you still feel this way?" Caroline asked.
"Yes." Richard knelt to his knees. "Look, I don't have that much more to offer than my painting and a filthy skid row apartment. Will you give dating me a chance." He took her hands. "I promise you, you will not regret it."
"Yes, I'll be your girl." Caroline said and they kissed.
