The Love Letters 「P2」

「Monday」



"Not now, Talia! The shop is really busy!"

Talia sat on the patio with her phone in hand talking to Selena, who was currently at work at the flower shop. "Yeah right....how busy? You just want alone time with Zico, don‘t you?"

Selena paused. "Did you really call me just to harass me? Because if so, I‘m hanging up," there was a few unfamiliar voices in the background and Talia knew at once that the shop was really busy. " ‘Kay, I‘m hanging up! Some of us actually have a job to get to!"

"Rude," Talia mumbled to herself after her friend hung up. But deep down inside, she knew her friend was in the right and not in the wrong.

The mail truck finally got to her street and made a beeline straight to her house. As soon as it stopped right in front of her house, the mail man got out of the vehicle and went up to Talia‘s patio with a package in his hand. "Please sign for this," the man said, handing Talia a stylus to sign on his device.

"Oh, okay," she signed quickly before he handed her the package. "Thanks!"

"Have a good day."

Talia sat on the porch swing as she read the label just like she did yesterday. It was from Rick again...! Only this time, there was no return address on it...perhaps somebody else‘s address was used to send it out, unlike yesterday‘s package which came directly from him house. Just like yesterday‘s contents, a piece of stationary paper was folded with crisp and prominent lines.




「Little
      By little, I realize that I have fallen for you. Rome is nice, but not as nice as you. The ice cream here is nothing compared to your homemade ice cream which is filled with the warmth and laughter of a girl that makes me complete. I hope that you are doing well...it has only been a few days, but I feel like it has been one hundred of them. Stay healthy for yourself, please. Eat well, drink well, sleep well, and dream well.

Please wait for my return.

    「Overjoyed,
              Rick


With a bright smile on her face, Talia swung gently on the porch swing and placed the letter in her lap. Somehow, she knew that there would be another letter around this time tomorrow, and her heart fluttered in excitement just thinking about it.
