In a quiet alley in Oxford stoodWren’s Paper & Post, a stationery shop that sold handmade cards, ink bottles, and vintage envelopes with pressed flowers. It had a dusty charm, like it had been forgotten by time—but that’s what made it magical.

Callum, a history student, wandered in one afternoon looking for a notebook. As he browsed the wooden drawers labeled “Letters Never Sent,” he pulled out a yellowing envelope.

Inside was a folded sheet of cream paper, written in delicate handwriting:

“Dear You, I see you every day at the corner café, reading that thick book with a crooked smile. I’ve never had the courage to speak. If you ever find this, maybe it means you’re ready to read what I never said. Yours, E.”

There was no stamp. No address. Just that soft, unfinished longing.

Callum was stunned. It felt intimate, real—like he had stumbled into someone’s heart.

Curious, he asked the old shopkeeper, “Do these letters belong to real people?”

The man smiled. “Some were donated. Some... left behind. Each one is waiting for someone who needs it.”

Callum bought the letter, unsure why.

Weeks later, at the same café mentioned in the note, he saw a girl reading a thick book, her smile a little crooked.

He hesitated… then sat down at the table next to hers, pulled out a pen, and began to write.

中文全文翻譯那封沒有郵票的信

在牛津的一條安靜小巷里，有一家名叫“雷恩紙品與郵局”的店，售賣手工卡片、墨水瓶和壓花的復古信封。整家店帶著一種被時光遺忘的氣息——也正因此而顯得迷人。

卡勒姆是一名歷史系學生，某天下午，他走進這家店尋找筆記本。當他翻閱一個寫著“未曾寄出的信”的木抽屜時，抽出一個微微泛黃的信封。

里面是一張奶油色紙張，上面寫著娟秀的字跡：

“親愛的你， 我每天都在角落的咖啡館看見你，捧著那本厚書，笑容有點歪。 我從沒鼓起勇氣與你交談。 如果你真的讀到這封信，也許意味著你準備好讀我未曾說出口的話了。 ——E”

信上沒有郵票，也沒有地址。只是那一抹溫柔又未完成的渴望。

卡勒姆怔住了。這封信太真實，像是誤闖進某人心底的柔軟。

他問店主：“這些信，是真的嗎？”

老店主微笑：“有些是人們捐的，有些是他們遺落的。每封信都在等待那個‘需要它的人’。”

卡勒姆買下了信，也說不清為什么。

幾個星期后，在那封信里提到的咖啡館，他真的看到一個正在讀厚書、微笑有點歪的女孩。

他猶豫了一下……坐到了她隔壁桌，掏出一支筆，開始寫信。
