Jessminder-
Any delay is fine, university girl. You're already further than I ever was. Keep studying. Keep playing, as well- I expect to play a match against you when you come home. To make things fair, Jules can play alongside you. I'm glad you enjoy the site. And I have always been more than 'just a pretty face,' although it's good to see you think I'm attractive.
Joe put down his pen. There was so much to tell her, but he couldn't figure out what words to put down on the paper. He sighed. He loved her so much, but he had no clue how to write it.

He only had two customers, two men sitting on opposite sides, both drinking whiskey. One- his name was Ron- was a regular. His wife divorced him and was forcing him to pay child support for their three children.
I mean, she's not wrong to. He's a doctor, he can pay. And three children? I don't really for bad for the guy. He gets violent when he's drunk- I have to keep note of how much I've given him and cut him off before it's too much. He still gets his fix at other bars.
But at least he wants to change- if only partly. He still comes here first, knowing I'll cut him off.
Don't bring up love with him- ever. Joe stepped slightly further away from Ron.
He picked up his pen and perched it upon his finger- but couldn't bring himself to do it.
I do try to maintain appearances, you know. Some of the new girls have tried their luck flirting with me, but I've shut them down quickly- I have faith in us.

He couldn't do it. He couldn't tell her that he loved her. It wasn't that he didn't, because he loved her more than he could express, and that did scare him a bit, since it was so early in their relationship. She understood him better than anyone else ever did. He sighed again.
