Dear Stranger,

By Amalia Reyes

You never asked me to write you.
But tonight, after another elegant evening filled with conversations that skim the surface, I find myself thinking of you.

I’ve met hundreds of people since that night at the St. Regis.
Yet your memory refuses to fade.

You booked me without questions. No demands.
Just a single request sent through the agency:

“Bring a book that changed your life.”

That alone intrigued me.

I arrived in a red coat, snowflakes caught in my curls, holding The Little Prince under one arm.
You greeted me with a smile—gentle, distant, almost reverent.
And you had a book of your own.

We didn’t drink.
We didn’t touch.

We sat by the window, city lights stretching beneath us like constellations.
And we read.

Out loud.
To each other.

You read with pauses—like every word meant something.
I listened with my whole body.

You told me later, in that warm hush between chapters, that your wife used to read to you when you had insomnia.
She passed two winters ago.

You said:

“I thought paying someone to read to me would feel pathetic. But it just feels… human.”

I didn’t respond then. I just kept reading.
The same way she might have.

When I left, you didn’t try to hold my hand or kiss me.
You just said:

“Thank you for being quiet in the right places.”

And that was more meaningful than most compliments I’ve ever received.

So here I am, months later, wondering if you still read out loud.
If someone else ever brought you a book that mattered.
If, maybe, for just one night, I gave you back something you thought was gone forever.

If so—
That makes me more than what most people think I am.

Thank you for that.

Sincerely,
Amalia Reyes
