"I what now?" Helen whispered at the letter, as if today it would actually respond.
Was quiverer a word? She was pretty sure it wasn't.
She had to really be missing Nikola, she was nit-picking his grammar, and not how she normally would either.
Helen had no idea she had so many subtle movements all the time. Figures Nikola of all people would notice and consider it endearing.
But then, it was how he saw her that was one of the biggest reasons she'd been in love with him for so long, even if she'd not really been able to admit it.
"How much more of the blood alphabet is there?" Helen muttered as she finished re-reading today's note for the 6th time.
Her fluttered state actually had her counting the sets of notes.
More than once because the first time the numbers didn't make sense.
"Sixteen, Seventeen," Helen sighed, of the notes with the alphabet she had opened 17 for the alphabet and then the first 1 made 18; she had 9 more to go.
"Well, at least the numbers are better," Helen pouted as she went to get ready for her day. It was still over a week until her Nikola was home.
She tried to cheer herself up with guessing what R would be.
