Author's Note:

I'm not entirely satisfied with the following chapter. Whatever. I just wanted to try this concept out. I may end up re-writing this chapter and replacing this with the new one. Let me know what you think! Tell me whether you think I should re-write or not.

As ever, read and review! (Pretty please?)

Dear Peter,

Every day is sliding by so slowly. Life is dragging by. The world here is so much different from Neverland. There are so many more people, and so much less space. Time flew by so quickly and was so insignificant in your world, and now it's hard to go back, but I know I must.

My parents have moved me out of the nursery to make room for the Lost Boys. Everyone lives with us except for Slightly, who stays with my aunt Millicent. He visits often, occasionally staying overnight. All the Lost Boys seem happy enough, though there have been some days when they obviously miss you. But so much has been happening to them that those days appear to be few. So far, they're treating life here as a short vacation. I can tell they think that you're coming back for them. I see it in their eyes when we speak of you.

I don't know why I'm even bothering to write this letter. No postman could ever get it to Neverland. But I needed to express my feelings in some way, even if you never read this.

I do love you. You're kidding yourself when you say that you've never heard of love. I know you've felt it, or loved someone yourself, even if you deny it. I hope you felt at some point, maybe even still feel, love for me.

The one wish that I send to the stars every night is this: That you will come back. I've never missed anyone as much as I miss you. Please come back.

Yours,

Wendy Darling
