GoodReadHardly had Devin left, Alexis asked eagerly, "Who's he?" Scarlett said, "I told you | don't know him." Alexis snorted, "Come on. You expect me to believe that shit?" Alexis knew that if Scarlett didn’t know a man, she would ignore him.
Alexis then rested her chin in her hands and stared at Scarlett with a smile.
Scarlett knew that if she didn't tell Alexis the truth, she would stare at her all day.
She took a sip of her lemonade and said, "I really don't know him. We just met the other day in Chatbury City." "How did he know your name?" Scarlett thought Alexis was quick-witted at times and said, "Maybe he overheard my name when Rowan and Viviana called me." Alexis nodded at Scarlett's sincere answer, "He has feelings for you, | suppose." Scarlett put the glass down and wore a halfsmile, "Do you have a thing for him? How about | contact Justin now?" On hearing that, Alexis became flustered," Nope. | just... eh made that up." And then she added, "Honestly, he looked purposeful and determined. Raymond's not with you now. Watch out for his traps, Lettie." Scarlett sniffed, "When | returned to Chatbury City a few days ago, | went to Nanhuaton No. 1 Middle School and remembered something." "Ah-huh?" Alexis thought Scarlett just tried to change the subject.

Scarlett continued, "Not really a big deal. | remembered someone had buried the love letters under a tree on the playground. It's been a long time. How about we dig them up? It will be fun." Hearing that, Alexis said in a panic," Please, | completely forgot about that. It's so long ago now." Alexis and Justin grew up together, but they didn't express their feelings for each other until their sophomore year of college.
Alexis was a beauty, though not very intelligent.
She had received many love letters from other boys since she was in junior high school. However, Alexis did not really understand love then and marveled at those letters. Then she collected them. It was like any other collector, except that Alexis' collection was unique: love letters.
In most cases, the teenager felt romantic stirrings in junior middle school, and this emotion was more obvious in high school. Thus, Alexis received more love letters in high school than in junior high school.
Then Alexis began to check the contents of the letters. She started to check those letters' spelling and grammar, though she did not do well in writing.
Alexis even numbered them. She kept it a secret from Justin, who always scoffed at those letters she received.
Alexis even received several love letters at the high school prom. Later, under the pretext of going to the bathroom, she went to the playground with Scarlett and said she would bury the more than two hundred letters and dig them up later in her reminiscence.
Alexis thought it meant something to her, a rite of passage to end her youth.

On the contrary, Scarlett thought it was a childish stunt. However, the drunken Alexis was stubborn and spent an hour digging a hole to bury those letters.
Alexis must have planned that for a long time. She put the letters in a bag and sealed it. The letters thus would have remained intact after all these years.
Alexis and Justin became lovers when they were in college and later married.
Alexis had apparently forgotten all about the love letters.
