Chapter Ten
Chapter Ten
My Dearest Felicia Laverne,
This is the eighth letter I’ve written to you this summer; each letter we share means more and more to me. I can’t wait to see you again at the end of the summer when I come with my parents to pick up Victoria from camp.
I love you, Felicia Laverne. I knew it the first time we met. I wished I could be there, standing before you, to tell you those words. However, I couldn’t pen another letter without making sure you knew how I feel.
I truly hope you feel the same way. Please let me know if you think I am moving too fast, and I will slow down.
Could I talk to your father when he comes to pick you up from camp? I want his permission to visit you in Atlanta in the fall.
Until I see you again, my love,
Milton
My Beloved Milton,
I love you, too! I knew when we met that you were special. Getting to know you through your letters has been extra special, and I can’t wait to see you again. Victoria is happy for us and thinks it’s wonderful that two best friends love two best friends.
Victoria and I have been assigned to supervise two ten-year-olds this month. Yvonne and Isabelle keep us busy and are fun to be around, although they are younger than us. We enjoy our leadership roles and can see bright futures for them.
How is your family? Victoria often gets letters from your parents and a lot of letters from Waylon, too. I love getting all my letters from you and writing you back. I hope you are taking care of yourself.
I think of you all the time, morning, night, and in those hours in between. I will prepare my father for your meeting with him. I am praying it goes well and that he sees you as the wonderful young man that you are.
With all my love,
Felicia Laverne
