Stevie is back on Drovers, so I figured she would be in this too. Enjoy.

Hi Claire!
Drovers seems to be full of crazy people lately, they almost forced me to write you a letter! I don't even want to imagine why…
You know I'm not good at things like this, so I don't think I'll write too much… I'm more inclined to action than to "literature".
Probably someone already told you, seeing that everyone here seems to be writing to you all the time, but I'm back. I'm working here at Drovers again, at least for a while. Sure, it's not the best situation, I'd have liked much better to have been hired for another reason, but I'm glad I'll be here when you come back…
I might even decide to stay here, if 'the boss' agrees, I like the job, I like the place too and there is also the possibility I could even learn to handle your sister. She's not so bad… She's a bit stressful in this period, but I can understand her behaviour… It's so hard to have someone you love in front of your eyes and not be able to tell them how important they are in our life, I know from experience!
Maybe this is the right time to tell you something I hid for so long… (I can still change my mind and destroy this letter!). So… I spit it out… I have a daughter.
I know, it's quite shocking to think I'm a mother, but I am. Perhaps I'd think the same about you as a mother…
Anyway her name is Rose, my Rosie, I was 15 when she's born, I was too young and you know what kind of people my parents are… so she's grown up with my sister Michelle and my brother-in-law, and now Rose thinks Michelle is her mother.
Do you think I should tell her the truth?
I may seem silly because I'm looking for advice from someone who's in a coma, but you know I've never had too many friends… I have a lot of acquaintances, but it's not often that I'm really fond of someone… just like you… You are one of the very few friends I've ever had and I can truly trust.
I deeply wish we could create the old team once more, now that we found each other again…
I wrote enough, I have work to do, so Tess can stop to scowl at me!
Bye boss!
Stevie
