Love, Rosie (63 page)

meet
what’s-his-name.
I’ll
be
waiting
at
arrivals
for
you.

Dear
Alex,

I
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
the
holiday!
I
had
such
a
fantastic

time.
Boston
seemed
even
more
beautiful
than
I
remembered,
and
I’m
glad
I

didn’t
have
to
run
home
early
in
embarrassment
this
time
round
(ha
ha
best

way
to
deal
with
it
is
to
make
fun
of
oneself).
Katie
just
loved
the
whole

experience,
and
the
child
will
just
not
stop
talking
about
you!

Greg
really
enjoyed
it
too,
I’m
glad
you
finally
got
to
meet
him
and
also

learn
that
his
face
isn’t
usually
the
greenish
kind
of
color
that
it
was
when

you
met
him
coming
off
the
plane.
It
was
such
a
treat
to
finally
have
my
two

favorite
men
in
the
same
country
together,
never
mind
in
the
same
room!
So

what
do
you
think
of
him?
Does
he
get
the
best
friend
seal
of
approval?

So
apart
from
the
fact
that
your
wife
absolutely
hates
me,
everything
else

was
very
comfortable
and
enjoyable.
But
I
actually
don’t
mind
Alex;
I’ll
just

accept
it.
It
just
makes
it
official
and
confirms
what
I
already
thought:
for

love,
rosie

101

some
unknown
reason,
any
girlfriend
or
wife
of
yours
will
forever
hate
me.

And
that’s
fine
with
me.
I’m
over
it.

I
just
hope
she
lets
me
see
your
son
or
daughter
when
he
or
she
is
born.

Now
there’s
something
else
I
never
imagined
would
happen!
Alex
Stewart
is

going
to
be
a
daddy!
Every
time
I
think
about
it
I
just
have
to
laugh
out
loud.

God
love
your
child
to
have
a
father
like
you!
Just
joking,
you
know
I’m

thrilled!
Although
I
can’t
believe
you
kept
it
a
secret
from
me
for
three

months.
Shame
on
you.

By
the
way,
I’m
really
sorry
Katie
spilled
her
drink
over
Sally’s
new

dress.
I
don’t
know
what
got
into
her;
she’s
usually
not
so
clumsy!
I’ve
told

her
to
write
a
letter
of
apology
to
Sally.
Hopefully
she
won’t
hate
us
all
so

much
then.

Anyway,
my
few
weeks
of
fun
are
over
now;
it’s
back
to
reality
again.
I

start
work
at
my
new
job
on
Monday;
I’m
just
hoping
I’ll
like
it.
All
my
life

I’ve
wanted
to
work
in
a
hotel
and
I’ve
put
the
thought
away,
with
the
rest
of

my
dreams.
I
just
hope
it
isn’t
hell,
or
all
my
little
dream
bubbles
will
burst

in
an
instant.

There’s
one
more
thing
I
forgot
to
tell
you,
Greg
has
asked
me
and
Katie
