Chapter
Aug 1, 1998
Dear Maria,
I have to start off by apologizing for not writing for a few months. I think it was a couple of things. You asking to see me kinda felt strange, so I needed to distance myself for a while. Also, and you are going to like this one, I decided to take the leap and go back to school. I started in the spring and I’m taking classes through the summer because I really want to get going on this. When I finally made the decision, I honestly couldn’t wait to get started.
And my bosses Scott and Johnny, remember I told you about them. The bean guys. Well, they have been so cool about it. I really thought when I approached them they would say that they couldn’t work with me since I assumed their kind of work only happens during the day. Here, they hire guys to run security at night at the different jobs. So that’s what I’m doing now. School during the day, working security in the evenings. And of course, there is still Cara. Life has really, for the first time, felt good. Great even. And I have you to thank for that.
I’ll try to not let so much time pass between letters this time. I hope your summer is going well.
Sincerely, Sam
