How could I forget to add my answers to your reviews?! Terrible...hope this catches most of you in time!
1 Sorry, but I cannot tell you any details whatsoever about the stranger :P It could be anybody reading the letters. Even someone who is an actual stranger.
2 Yep, you guys will eventually find out who the stranger is, don't worry. But it's at the very end. So you'll just have to be patient and review so that I'll update faster! ;)
3 Yes; I have exactly one chapter that isn't a letter, only because I couldn't figure out how to write that particular scene as a letter.
4 Whether or not Serena survives the cancerous tumor shall remain a mystery...
How do you guys like the new cover image? It's pink bunny stationary which I thought fit Serena's personality and taste. Enjoy!
Dear Stranger,
Darien tried to pull a joke on me. When he came in to watch the movie, he told me we were going to watch a documentary on one of our former presidents. He took one look at the expression on my face and burst out laughing.
Sooooo not funny.
I simply crossed my arms and told him so.
When he eventually calmed down, he told me that he was just messing with me and pulled two more movies from his backpack. One was an action movie and the other was a cheesy chick flick. I was definitely surprised that he had brought along such a girly movie, and Darien explained to me that he brought it just in case I was so mad from his joke that I wanted to get revenge on him. I rolled my eyes and giggled; that wasn't a bad idea. I told him to play the chick flick.
He pushed Lucas' old bed next to mine and emptied his backpack between us. Candies poured out, and he held a finger up to his lips and said, "Shhh" because candies weren't allowed unless it was a special occasion. But this was special enough of an occasion to me at least. He handed me a water bottle while he got his grape soda, and then the lights were off and he pressed play.
I don't know what I watched more: the movie, or Darien. He really was just so handsome. More than once, our hands touched when we were reaching for a handful of popcorn. So much for not thinking tonight as a date. I tried paying attention to the movie, but by the time I managed to, the main character was proposing to his lover in an elaborate garden of roses. It was actually a really sweet scene. I'd love to be proposed to like that.
It's not like I'd ever have a chance with him anyway. He'll find a prettier girl closer to his age and fall for her. He's my nurse, I'm his patient. I shouldn't even be starting to feel this way. My relationship just ended a week ago; shouldn't I still be mourning that?
Disappointed that Darien took all the leftover candy with him,
Serena
