It was a long time before I was able to slip away, but Finn had finally listened to me. He was gone.

I need to talk to you. Name the time and place and I’ll be there.
P.S. You looked beautiful last night. I know I already told you that, but it bears repeating.

Alright, looks like we’re going with Plan C, where Plan A was talking to you last night and Plan B was kissing you until you admitted you have feelings for me. Real bummer, Plan B would have been more fun.
So, Plan C – doing this via email.
I know you have a boyfriend, and I want to respect that, but it’s damn hard to stand by when I’m one hundred percent certain what you and I have blows whatever you have with him out of the water. It’s not too late. At least give me a fair shot to show you how good we could be together.

Merry Christmas. I got you the best present ever. I finally named kitty. Ready for it? Marshmallow. Great, right? I was thinking about the night we made s’mores and it just came to me. Kitty looks like a lightly toasted marshmallow with her streaks and spots of black.
We miss you.
Finn and Marshmallow
P.S. I still maintain that lightly toasted is better than charred. Marshmallow agrees with me.
