Dear Amy,

I want you to know that I don’t have a crush on you. The flowers were to make you feel better since your sick. Sorry I’m not real good at writing. I had people say things and so I thought I should explain.

Nick

Dear Nick,

I loved the flowers. There is no need to explain anything. Let people talk. I know you’re just a kind person who cares about everyone. Thanks again,

Sincerely,

Amy

Dear Nick,

Thanks for buying me coffee. I needed that especially, yesterday. You don’t know how much a kind action like that means.

Sincerely,

Amy

Dear Amy,

I’m glad you liked the coffee. I thought you looked tired.

Nick

Dear Amy,

How are you doing emotionally? I thought there was something worse than just your sprained ankle bothering you.

Nick

Dear Nick,

Only the kindest hearts notice those things. And only the wisest ask about them. So many people ask me how I’m doing physically but so few ask how I’m doing emotionally. You were right. I’m not doing the best in that department. It’s just…. I feel a little embarrassed telling you. It’s so many things. My sister is happily married with two kids. I want that. And yesterday she had just been showing me pictures of their new house. It hit me hard. And Stan keeps showing obvious preference for Janessa and they both snub me. You know I’ve had a crush on him for ages. But I’m getting a little tired of how he treats me. It’s just so hard, Nick! I’m so depressed…

Just

Amy

Dear Amy,

I’m sorry your not doing too good. I’m sorry Stan treats you that way. Some day he will see what a treasure he is pushing away.

Nick

Dear Nick,

Thanks for being a friend. No one else even offered to stay back from the party with me since I couldn’t go. You are one in a million.

Amy

Dear Nick,

I almost missed the card in the flowers. When I read it, I reread and read it again! Did you really mean it??? Is it really true?? Is it possible that you….. really love me?

Surprised and happy,

Amy

Dear Amy,

I meant it every word. But you are so superior to me I thought I would never deserve you. I’ve always thought you were a precious, beautiful Angel and I’m just a scummy old human. I never thought to love you until… it just happened. I kept wanting to see your sweet smile every day.

I love you.

I mean it.

Nick

Dear Nick,

You are too good to be true. I never thought of you in terms of love. I’ve been so infatuated with Stan that my head has been in the clouds and I missed what was right in front of me. You are the best and dearest man I know. You are my ideal in every way. I admire and look up too and respect you more than anyone else. You know that! I always go to you for help, comfort, or advice! I would never in a million years have gone to Stan! I love you more than words can express!

Your Amy

I put the letters away. The tears were wet on my face. No wonder my parents were so happy and in love. Then I pulled out a pen and paper, I had a letter to write.
