Marriage

Philip paid Yun for his soup and turned to leave when he noticed Dirk sitting at a table reading something.

"Hey, Dirk! What's that?"

The mail carrier folded the paper and tucked it into his pocket. "It's a letter from my brother. He's getting married, and he wants me to attend the wedding."

"You sound disappointed by that."

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"Is there a girl you're interested in?"

"There was back when I lived with Ivan, but she ended up marrying the local farmer. I'm happy for them, though."

"Well, I hope you find someone."

"Thanks. You too."
