Thank you so much for the kind reviews! Much appreciated. I'm not sure if this will be the last letter or not. I guess there wouldn't be a true conclusion since she called and told him she was leaving that day.
Dearest Sister Bernadette,
I know it has not been long since I last wrote but I am absolutely bursting to write to you.
I promise, I did not intend to eavesdrop but I could not help myself. I popped into Nonnatus House to see Sister Julienne about something, and I accidentally overheard the nurses talking about you. I confess, I did not immediately alert them to my presence.
They were saying something about you considering your future and possibly not wishing to be a nun anymore. They didn't appear to know why but seemed excited you might become "one of the girls". I didn't hear much more, since they decided they probably should not be gossiping and switched to discussion on Nurse Noakes's impending joys of motherhood and I thought I had better attend to my business and ask for Sister Julienne.
I hope I am not too vain to suppose I might be a part of that possible decision. I know I am not as young a man as you could have, if you wanted to. I am also sure you may have other reasons you may wish to leave the order. It has at least given me some hope. Oh how I long to see you again, to hear your voice, to see your beautiful smile. I miss you so much that it hurts!
With love,
Dr P. Turner
Ok, I decided this is not the end. I was inspired by a comment in the reviews and now I have some more ideas. The trick is getting them all down so please bear with me. I am pretty new at this.
