Chapter 9

My dearest Roy,

You are only gone for one day, but it seems like an eternity to me. I understand that you have important military duties to attend. Yet, it still breaks my heart that you have to leave me. When are you coming back? I hope soon.

Two nights ago, it was the most significant night of my life. Before, I always thought being with a man is scary. My grandmother told me many times that first time will be beyond painful. There are other people who told me that too. But they are wrong. It was not painful at all, it was beautiful, it was a true pleasure. I feel like a real woman. Every woman only has one chance to sacrifice her virginity. And I sacrificed it to you. I hope this sacrifice will be worth it (in your words, the equivalent exchange).

What are you doing right now? Do you miss me, like the way I miss you? Now that you are gone, it feels really lonely here. For this entire day, I sat under that oak tree, thinking nothing else but you. Last night, I looked at the stars, they were shinier than ever, as if they wanted to serve as a guide that would lead me to you. I wish that you and I will be together sooner than I think, and with you, happiness shall never cease. You are my wonderland, you are my life.

Come back to me soon. I'm willing to hold you against my heart.

Kiss you a thousand times,

Winry.

Roy smirked after he read the letter. He threw it on his desk, leaned back against his chair.

"Success!" he shouted.
