Subject: Hello, anger.

It’s clear you’re angry with me. Fine ... I accept that. But I want you to know I’m not angry with you. Have a good trip. Even though you’ve decided tohave someone else go with you, I hope they treat you well at the branch offices.

Kiss,

Jude

Subject: Guess who.

Today, when I talked to my supervisor on the phone, I heard your voice in the background. You wouldn’t believe how it made me feel. At least I know you’re still alive! I hope you’re well. I miss you.

Big kisses,

Judith

As they say, thank God it’s Friday!

Tomorrow I’m going to the countryside.

My friends and I have rented a little house for the weekend.

This time, I’m not sending you kisses ... I’m sure this weekend you’ll get them from someone else. I hate you for that!

Subject: Shall we start over?

I’m back!

The weekend was fun, though cows and chickens aren’t really my thing. I got stung on my hand by a bumblebee, and it hurts like the devil.

I’m sending a kiss today, though I’ve started to doubt you’re receiving them.
