[letter #5]
To my Generous Lady with Red Hair:
Your hair pin came to me safe and sound. I spent quite a while looking at it, actually, once it fell out of the envelope that I dropped on my desk as I opened your letter. I was fiddling with it for a bit before I realized that you might have an explanation for the gift in your writing. I shall treasure the small momento, and always remember that little moment in which the wind took your hat, playing with you. While you may recall such a memory with embarrassment, I shall remember it with a particular fondness that one holds for a friend.
For we are friends, are we not? While we cannot speak to each other and are hardly allowed a glimpse before the world sweeps us away, we can write of things that we would hardly ever say if we were to be face to face (at least, what I would never say quite so openly). I like to consider the fact that we are not strangers anymore.
Of course, I still shall keep my name from you. This little game is entertaining, and it is always endearing to come up with a new name for you. It is and shall continue to be fun, isn't it? It is always guessing, guessing, and guessing...As you said, one answer leads to two more questions, but it is nothing like one step forward and two steps back. It is like one step forward...and two leaps forward. At least, that is how I envision it.
It is with deep regret that I must tell you that I hold no gift. I think I shall draw a little something for you, as a small gift in return. I will not accept no for an answer, because it is not only the calling of society that forces me to but my own will as well. Thus, I hope it shall come with my next letter.
Until next time!
Your Grateful Friend on the Bridge

Awww! They're friends! xp
Thank you, yunsi and Adri, for all of your comments! It seems as if I recieve more comments if I update everyday. xD However, it is definitely a motivator to have the two of you leave comments behind. Thank you once again!
And of course, if anyone else decides to leave a small word or two, you'll be well-thanked as well. ^^
