That's understandable, if I'm being reasonable. If I'm being selfish I'd rather not share you with anyone, even with your first love; that job of yours.

We still don't know much of anything about August's time away, but he's doing better here, at least. It's crazy to think that it's happened to other people too!

It's very fortunate for me that I hide everything then, I doubt she'd go nosing around my room all that much. Even so, I tuck the letters all away very carefully.  I've been writing to friends too, so I hope it's not all that suspicious, I leave the appropriate ones of those out as evidence. It'll be nice, when the time comes, not to have to hide all of this though. I hate lying to them.
