Always.

How are you doing, sweetheart?

I don’t want to keep hassling you, but I’ve been worrying after your last messages.

And I miss you.

I tried Pad Thai for the first time today and LOVED it.

It made me realise how many firsts I still have to come. Weirdly though, I’m not enjoying them without you at my side.

I want to experience them with you, if that’s something you’d like too.

Obviously not expecting an answer now.

Just something to think about.

Anyway, I hope you’re doing okay and that the conference hasimproved.

Another day, another city

Nha Trang has the most beautiful beaches

Did I ever tell you how surprised I was when I learned oceans are made of water and not fire?

It’d just never occurred to me because of the river Styx.

Anyway, I still miss you

I hope the conference is going okay and that you’re not too stressed.

Please let me know if you need ANYTHING.

Just say the word and I’ll be there sweetheart.

Jeremiah

I’m trying not to keep texting you but it’s been ten days now.

You said it wasn’t going well last time you messaged and I can’t help but worry.

I’m sure you’re just super busy with the conference.

I hope you’re okay though.

And that nothing bad has happened.

Shit, has something bad happened?

Someone would let me know, right?
