The loosely folded note fell from her unzipped hand bag as they walked toward the car. She didn’t notice him pick it up. He should have returned it to her, but he put it in his pocket.
He wished he hadn’t.
His skin turned cold as he read the note.
He could never unread those words and he could never love her after reading them. He didn’t know this woman with the poison pen and he didn’t want to.
He wanted to return the note without her seeing him. Without her ever knowing that he knew what he now knew.

I love that the focus isn’t on the narrator or the writer of the note, but the unintended(?) recipient.
So many possible things could be playing out here as to why the reader is horrified with what he read. You’ve done an EXCELLENT job of building suspense without elaborating at all on the message.
Flow is good. Spelling and grammar are great (minus the comma in the last line that makes the sentence a bit disjointed). What imagery you use is MORE than adequate to get your point across.
Definitely a nice read. Thumbs up

I can imagine the whole scene playing out in my head which is a good thing! And I love how you left it so vague and hanging.
