Subject: Hey Stranger

Hey,

You’ve gone quiet on me.

Did I say something to scare you off? Or maybe my scone photo was too much for you to handle. I swear I didn’t burn those. (Okay, maybe a little on the bottom, but that’s just extra flavor , right?)

I guess I just…miss our talks. It’s been nice having someone to write to who actually gets it . Even if you’re all mysterious and broody about what you actually do up there in the mountains.

Anyway, I hope everything’s okay on your end. Don’t leave me hanging too long.

Yours, SugarDust

Hey,

Sorry for the silence. Things have been…hectic.

Look, I should be upfront with you. I’m going to be away for a while. Business stuff. Might be better if you don’t wait around for me.

You deserve someone who can actually be there , not some guy holed up on a mountain fixing things all day.

I’ve really enjoyed writing to you, but maybe you should keep an eye out for other matches.

Take care, RuggedRoots
