Lily,
We set sail on the 22nd. We intend to return in June but of course there's no telling.

If you want to talk before I leave, all you need to do is name a time and place; I'll be there.

If not, I understand.

J,

What if it happens again and this time you don't come back?

Lily

J,

I wish I could go with you. Life here is sometimes so boring. Why are men the only ones who get to have grand adventures?

Lily

J,

I would love to see you just in case

J,

It would be great to see you. How does this Saturday in Padmore Park suit you? Near where we first met if you can remember? Though not precisely the spot we met. That would be rather uncomfortable and might result in mutual colds.
