Chapter 4: Baltimore, The last thing I expected 4/7



Claire's father died last week and so she took Emily and moved to Baltimore with her brother-in-law. So now in exchange for some mail service I am watching Angel. Claire sends Original Cindy a letter through Baltimore and I watch Angel until they get settled.

Angel is a nice dog, clean and well behaved. I told Claire about Logan. She hasn't had any accidents yet and she keeps me from feeling to down about myself. She sure is lively though. It's been nice having a reason to leave the house besides work. Angel and I go for walks all the time. And yes I am trying to avoid the fact that I told Claire about Logan.

I did a very stupid thing in telling Claire about Logan because she convinced me to write him a letter, which I stupidly did. He should get it any day now, if he doesn't already have it. Postal service isn't as reliable as it once was, or at least that is what they say.

Just when I was adjusting to living without him I go and do a stupid thing like that. Still a part of me gets excited thinking he might write back. Then the other part of me says, No he has Asha now.

Well Angel is begging to be walked and I am tired of thinking about it. O.C. would know what to do. I miss them.





Logan,

It feels so good to say your name out loud. Sometimes I do that you know. I don't know why I am writing this other then to tell you I'm ok and that...that...that the search for a cure is a bust so far. I've got a good life here. I hope your doing well. Do you know how incredibly awkward this is? I don't even know why I am writing this. I know I probably won't send it. There are so many things we never got to say. So many reasons that I had to leave. But you know that. You've always known that. How is it that you can see me so clearly but when it comes to you I can be so clueless? Well I have to bounce. Say hi to Eyes Only for me if you see him...(flashes a big smile)

Your Cat Burglar,

Max



I reread it in disbelief time and time again. There is a return address on it and Original Cindy said that Max could get mail through it. She's going to come back. I know it.
