Dear Carmen,

I got your letter and I have to say, I was quite surprised. I never expected to hear from you, even though that kind of upset me.

I read through your letter and ever word made me smile. And I mean every word. Because, here's the weird thing: I love you, too.

And, weirder still, it's been since I first met you, just like when you first met me. I've missed you every single day we've been apart.

Since we both love each other there's only one thing I want to do: see you, speak to you. Kiss you.

Because, quite frankly, I miss seeing your smile, hearing your voice, your laugh. I miss the memories you and I had together.

Meet me at the park at 7:00, Friday night. By the way…I hope you keep my heart safe, because it's yours forever. I'll make sure to keep yours safe, too.

Love always,

Liam O'Donovan.
