Good Morning Yankee Moy,
Happy two week anniversary! I know it is a bit silly but it is not just two weeks that we have been together, but two whole weeks in which we have not argued! That has to be worth celebrating!

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart,
We're not going to argue anymore, we're gonna spend every weekend like the last two, curled up and cosy!
All my love
Your Yankee

Wishful thinking! Of course we will argue again AND we will spend every weekend curled up together. That is just normal.
Before I forget, there was something I wanted to ask you. Some of the girls found out that it is my birthday on Friday and they want to take me out somewhere tomorrow… actually they wanted to do something closer to my Birthday but I did not want to risk being tired when you arrive.
Love Lin

You're stunning when you're angry, I don't mind fighting with you occasionally, especially when we get to make up afterwards!
What did you want to ask me Babe?
All my love

If it is okay for me to go out with them? It will just be dinner and maybe some dancing.

You don't need my permission? To be honest I am a bit surprised you even asked…

I know I do not need your permission, but I want your approval.
I do not want you thinking bad things or to be jealous anymore, I need you to trust me and for that we have to be completely open with each other.

Wow.
Of course I trust you! Now we're a couple and I know how you feel, I'm not terrified of you meeting someone else… well not so much anyway. I just needed to know you weren't looking for someone else.
So go out and have fun, just not so much fun you don't want to see me Friday!
All my love
Your Yankee

I could never have that much fun without you! I will never look for or want, anyone else either.
Thank you Sweetheart.

You're welcome Beautiful… so I guess this means I should have told you that I've started playing pool with a couple of the guys (just guys) some nights after work?
I wasn't hiding it from you or anything, it's just that when we're together you're all I'm thinking about and I completely forgot. If it makes you uncomfortable I wont do it anymore.
All my love
Your Yankee

Do not be silly, I am glad you are getting along with your colleagues better, and you should not be cooped up all the time!
Just as long as you would rather be with me!
I have to get ready for work, and you should sleep!

Of course I'd rather be with you! It's only the thought of seeing you Friday that's keeping me going.
I don't want to sleep, it's only 11:00, and I want to sit here and be silly with my girlfriend!
All my love

Your girlfriend needs to go to work soon, otherwise she would sit here and be silly with you all day.
Stay up if you want, just make sure you are well rested for Friday, you have a long weekend in front of you!

Don't worry sweet stuff, I have a LOT of stamina. And there's no way I'm gonna be tired for our weekends, you don't know how much I look forward to them.
Just to show willing though, I'll say goodnight and let you go to work.
All my love
Your Yankee

I am? What are we doing for your birthday? Rock climbing? Running?
You know I love you anyway right?

Very funny, just for that I might just change our plans… how does a ten mile hike sound to you?

That's okay, I was playing pool last night.
Have fun and don't do anything that I… actually Babe, don't do anything that Ma-Ti wouldn't do!

I just got home, do not worry I am completely sober, much to my colleagues disgust!
It was a fun night, a nice dinner and a club afterwards for dancing. It would have been more fun if I had had my boyfriend here to dance with me and I would have been happier if there had been less drinking, but other than some rather warm jokes (which you will have to explain to me,) there were no incidents, so it was a good night.
How was the pool?
All my Love,
Lin

The Pool was great, I won!
I'm glad you had a good time Babe, I hope your friends didn't make you too uncomfortable… or that you felt you couldn't drink because of me?
I'd be happy to explain the warm jokes, I'll even demonstrate if you can translate them!
Love Your Yankee

Congratulations on your Pool playing Yankee, you will have to teach me!
I was not too uncomfortable but not comfortable enough to drink with them. I do not drink with you because you do not but I would probably drink with Gi now, if you were around to look after me and put me to bed. Does that make sense? But then I would not do it if it made you uncomfortable.
I cannot believe that it is my birthday tomorrow! And we will see each other very soon now!
All my Love,
Lin

Not soon enough Babe, I want to see you everyday!
And it wont make me uncomfortable if you drink when we're with your family (or when you're with Gi,) but I'm glad you want me to be there to take care of you, I'll worry less if I know you're safe.
Love Your Yankee

I promise I will not do anything stupid unless you are there to look after me then. I like having someone to protect me!
I know it is not enough, I have been wondering if we should ask Gaia how much longer she is planning to keep us here for… but then I think it might make her feel bad and I know there are still things I need to get done here before we go home.
Lets just focus on this weekend, we will be together and I want it to be fun.
All my Love,
Lin

It will be fun! It's my job to see that you're happy on your birthday and I take my job very seriously!
Now I'm gonna get an early night so that I can get to work early, and more importantly, leave early! I'll see you for breakfast Friday Babe.
I Love You!

Sleep well and I will see you tomorrow, I want this weekend to be special, for both of us.
