My Sweet Finn,
I know its boring, but what did you expect? Being in the army isn't like the movies. It's not all action all the time. I know you got mad that time we were watching Top Gun, and I said there's no way the Navy would put a bunch of graduates like Maverick and Icicle in a fight the way they did, but, I was right.
Don't you hate how I'm always right?
Anyway, big news! I got the part! YAY!
Quinn was with me when Madame Tibedeaux called. I'm so glad I had someone to share the moment with. I'm the only freshman in the cast, and I get a song! All by my lonesome.
This is what it looks like… seeing your dreams come true before your very eyes.
There's only one moment that could possibly top this. No, two.
The moment I see you again, and the moment I become your wife.
Quinn's doing great, btw. I think journalism's the perfect fit for her. She showed me some of the papers she's done. She's got a real way with words. I bought her one of those old-timey hats, like the one the old guy wore in the original Superman movie. With the plastic peak, and the band running round the back. A real newsie's hat. We found it at this little place in Tribeca.
Oh, Finn, there's so much I want to show you! The little record store in the Village that has the entire REO collection on vinyl – on display – right out front! The guy down by the pier when you visit Liberty Island, who'll draw the most gorgeous portraits for a dollar. But he only draws couples. The tree in front of the townhouse we're going to live in one day on the Upper East Side.
I already carved Rachel+Finn 4Ever on that tree.
Come back to me soon.
Rachel.
