The Wrong Envelope

June found an envelope beneath the leaking roof of the station shelter. The ink had run, but one line remained: "I wish I had asked you to stay." She delivered it to the address on the back. A man named Eli opened the door with flour on his sleeve. He laughed sadly when he recognised the paper. It was a letter he had written to his sister after an argument. "Did you send another?" June asked. He looked at the rain instead of answering.
