Dearest new pen-pal,
I’m so glad to have met you after a tacit 2-year across-the-room crush. I think you’re brilliant and exciting, like a treasure chest of beads and jewels and soft gold coins.
Your stories delight me. I feel drawn to you like no one I’ve ever met. I’m so sad you’re leaving Halifax. I hope we keep writing.—Confessedly yours
