As luck would have it, she meets the mysterious Warren Yates on Christmas Eve. They share a cup of coffee, some conversation, and even a moment, which leads to many more in the coming weeks.

To my sweetest Maele,

I woke up early this morning. Didn’t plan on it, but since I was awake, I went outside and watched the sun rise.

It’s still dark where you are and I’m sure you are still asleep (I kinda hope this text wakes you up) but in four hours the same sun will rise over you and you, I know, will watch it ascend to begin your day.

So I’m sending you this note to remind you just how much I love you.

My love for you burns as brightly and as hot as the sun in the sky. I miss you. I miss you so much. Don’t doubt it.

I Love you

Adam
