Re:
Coming
home?

Hi
love.
I
told
you
I’d
be
here
in
the
States
until
Monday.
I
should
be

home
in
the
evening
sometime.
Can
I
call
you
from
the
airport
for
a
lift?

Sorry
if
there
was
some
confusion.
I’m
sure
I
told
you
it
was
Monday
and

not
Friday.
I
wish
it
was
today
darling,
I
really
do.

How’s
Katie
after
her
first
wild
teenage
party?
I
haven’t
heard
from
her.
I

thought
she
might
have
thanked
me
for
the
present
by
now.

This
weekend?

Do
you
think
you
could
be
mistaken
about
that
booking
for
this
weekend?

time

you’re
not
work-

ing
too
hard.
I
grudgingly

birthday
present.
You

I
bought
a
black
sweater

money.
See

get

Please
wait

Just

And

I

Hi,
it’s
me,
Alex.

Look
I’m
really
sorry
but
I’m
not
going
to
be
able
to
make
it
out
for
din-

ner
tonight.
I’m
sorry
to
tell
you
in
a
letter
but
it’s
the
best
way
I
no
how.

You’re
a
wonderful,
intelligent
woman
but
my
heart
lies
with
someone
else.

It
has
done
so
for
many,
many
years.
I
hope
that
when
we
meet
we
can

remain
friends
at
least.

Take
care,

Alex
