Love Letters
Miranda was surprised by what she discovered when she opened one of the envelopes. The letters within were written by her late spouse and were full of declarations of love, longing, and a real desire for a deeper connection between them. His statements made it painfully clear that, while she saw their relationship as a transaction, he hoped for a love partnership. With each sentence, Miranda addressed the stark contrast between her perspective of their relationship and her husband’s true desire for genuine love. The letters acted as a devastating reminder of what might have been, forcing her to confront emotions she had long neglected in her obsessive chase of fortune.
No Remorse
Miranda remained emotionally distant, regarding the letters as nothing more than impediments in her path. She tore the letters to tears with steely determination and no remorse, focusing entirely on the next instruction that would lead to her long-awaited fortune. Miranda’s unwavering quest of fortune had driven her to the point where she was unconcerned with professions of love and longing. Her quest was driven by an unrelenting desire for material riches. This road continued to test her resolve and her separation from the feelings she had long abandoned.
