Dear Cam,
I write to you every year on our anniversary, and I'm not even sure if you're getting these letters. Maybe that's one way to define "crazy." Because that's how I feel about you, Cam Geary, movie star: head over heels, nutty as a fruitcake, however the poets say it; the point is, I can't stop thinking about you. I love you, Cammie! I've never stopped wearing your ring, and I'll always wait for you!
Come back to me, lover!
All the love in my heart,
Mary Anne
The only thing I know for sure about Cam Geary's whereabouts is that he is in New York City. I have an address for him, but I don't know how old it is, or who might intercept my letter. I tried to remember some sleuthing techniques; back in junior high, my BSC friends and I had solved a number of mysteries. If only I had read Nancy Drew novels, like Claudia! If only I were an aspiring actress, like Stacey! If only I were married to an influential old man, like Kristy...oh, the list will drag on forever if I don't get down to it. The truth is, Cam Geary needs me; he may not want to hear it, he may not see it, he may not smell the smell of his favourite perfume upon my neck, or feel the soft caress of my hands, or taste the cherry of the lip gloss that I apply every morning (it's his favourite) but I'm confident that one day he will, again. He did, and he loved it- all of it- but then our love was torn asunder. You know how in wedding vows, they say that "asunder" part? (I don't remember it exactly; I was too nervous during my wedding to Cam to recall the exact words.) Well, that's the part he needs to be reminded of!
Any man who stands between us...well, but he is the man who brought us together...but no, it isn't right! No longer will I sit back in the shadows, a cowering mousy youth. I must fight for my lover, and fight I shall! I just need to get Dawn, my stepsister, on the phone. She's the one who helped me see the light, after all...maybe she can help Cam, too.
