But he could only see me instead of touching me there. And it will distract him from his work, so I refuse his request.<\/p>\n<p>Then Frances remembers that we could travel together tomorrow, so he doesn&#8217;t make things difficult for me.<\/p>\n<p>Only Sabina and I stay at home, so I concentrate on drawing my design in the study.<\/p>\n<p>But my phone rings.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a strange number.<\/p>\n<p>Who is it?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hello, is this Ms. Noyes?&#8221; A man asks politely.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s an unfamiliar voice.

Are you home?&#8221; The man asks.<\/p>\n<p>A letter?<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone still write letters these days?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, you can bring it over.&#8221; I answer honestly, though I&#8217;m still puzzled.<\/p>\n<p>Very quickly, the man sends the letter over. There are only an address and a name on the envelope. They are both printed, so I could not tell who writes this.<\/p>\n<p>There is a piece of paper inside the envelope. The words are also printed.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the person who wrote the letter doesn&#8217;t want me to know who he or she is.<\/p>\n<p>The content shocks me. I stand blankly and don&#8217;t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>I can hardly believe it, but &#8230; I want to believe it.<\/p>\n<p>I still hold a sliver of hope and want that it is true.<\/p>\n<p>But who sends this letter to me?<\/p>\n<p>Is the news true? And why does he tell me?<\/p>\n<p>This meeting takes too long.

Didn&#8217;t you say that you want to draw the designs at home? And you don&#8217;t want me to disturb you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frances walks over and hugs me with a smile. He bends down to kiss me.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m not in the mood to enjoy a kiss. I push him away and say.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, someone sent me a letter.
