chapter 11.
The letter arrived earlier today and soon after I read it, I had an attack. She's talking about meeting me. Actually meeting me. I have no social skills.. it would be an embarrassing disaster. But I do desperately wanted to see her. I want to know that the beautiful girl in the letters is as real as the personality expressed through her letters. I so want to be able to talk to her in person, have a real life friend. Shakily, I wrote her back.
Dear Riley,
I would love for you to fly over sometime. It would be nice to meet you because I can tell through your writing that you are just the friend I need. I have to admit, my depression has improved because I get a sense of happiness when we write to eachother. So please, do fly over some day. I need you. I need your companionship.
Sincerely,
Harry.
I sealed the letter and slipped it under my door for a nurse to pick up and mail. It was a usual thing now. The nurses knew where to send it. This was about my 11th letter to Riley. I've been counting. Almost 3 months since we started exchanging letters. And now, she wanted to meet the man behind the letters. But what kind of man am I? I can barely speak to anyone outside the hospital. If Riley came, I would most likely make a fool out of myself. But she's so caring and understanding.. I think she'd take me as I am.. like I would do for her.
