Dearest Sasuke

This is my last letter to you. Do not worry. It is not because of any loss of affection on my part.

But I cannot lie to you anymore.

I never meant to deceive you but unknown to me, the words I wrote became flickers of fondness on their way to you. Flickers that soon morphed into flames.

Please come home and find me.

I am not who you think I am…

A/N- Welcome to this new fiction. It is set in the regency era and I wanted to write one for such a long time. I am so happy to have finally started. This fiction is loosely adapted from a novel that I read- Love in the afternoon by Lisa Kleypas. By all means give it a read if you want to.

Some parts of it, especially the beginning is similar to it but this is my version and it's definitely not going to be the same. I'll be using bits here and there and put my own spin to it.

I hope you guys like it.
