Art,
No, she didn't tell me anything, but she said if I wanted to know more about him she would. I doubt she'll tell me his name since she's signing her letters with just one letter. And she said her "circumstances" meant she never needed to tell me at the time which I think means she must be married, or ... I don't know, maybe living in a big family who doesn't care what she does and they took care of her. I think what she was getting at was that she didn't need me to support her — but if she's married I can understand why she wouldn't want me to know her name, or his.
I think it is real. I thought it was real when I first read it, even though I wrote and told her it couldn't be. But that doesn't necessarily mean she's not going to blackmail me.
And — come on. You know Melody would be livid. She doesn't think about things the same way you and I do. It doesn't matter if I was in love with her or not.
