After losing her husband of 45 years, 76-year-old Bessie Walsh found herself lonely and adrift. Her daughters lived abroad, and her days were filled with memories and photo albums—until one evening she stumbled upon a stack of old letters in her storeroom. They were from Troy Evans, her ex-fiancé from over five decades ago.
Bessie and Troy had been in love in their twenties, engaged to be married. But after seeing him with another woman at a restaurant, she assumed he had cheated, ended the relationship abruptly, and never gave him a chance to explain. He had written her many letters trying to clarify the situation, but she never read them—until now.
As Bessie read through the letters, she discovered that Troy had only been pretending to be someone’s boyfriend as a favor to a friend. He had loved her all along and never stopped. Moved by his words, she decided to visit him. When Bessie arrived at the address he had left, she found a ruined house. A mute neighbor handed her another address—Troy was now living in a nursing home. There, she found him, wheelchair-bound and unresponsive, a victim of a stroke and memory loss.
