Dearest,
I took this picture for you, I hope you like it, it made me think of you some how. I think because the flower has an understated beauty, very much like you. I have to admit I don't know how to write this letter without sounding cheesy or silly so bear with me.

I missed you as soon as we left the park. I didn't think it was possible to feel this strongly about a person, to miss them with every ounce of your being, but apparently i have been proven wrong, and I love it. Every moment I wish I was with, but I content myself with just thinking of you, hoping, just hoping one day we may find a way to defy the odds against us.

But enough with that, I want to know more about you, figure out what makes you tick, so I have a few question for you to answer. Enjoy;
1. What is your favourite animal.
2. What do you like to do when you don't have to get up in the morning?
3. What is your favourite breakfast food?
4. What do you like to do in your spare time?

I think that is enough questions to start with, I hope to hear from you soon!

Yours,

[Arianna O'Connor]

Dearest,
I love the picture you took. It's so beautiful! I will cherish it always and keep it somewhere where I can see it everyday. I can't believe such a beautiful flower made you think of me. That makes me blush. Well you're in luck that I thought your letter was very sweet and cute.

I missed you as well. I always think about you everyday. Well of course it's possible, that's what true love is. I wish I could be with you too, but alas we can't be together. Of course that saddens me and I wish there was a way we could be together.

As for your questions, here are my answers for you:
1. My favorite animal are dogs...puppies to be exactly.
2. I Like to sleep in when I don't have to get up
3. Hm, I would have to say my favorite breakfast food is french toast
4. I like to just either sit outside if it's nice out or go for a walk

Feel free to ask me anymore questions.

Missing you always,

[Archer McCallum]

Dearest,

I am glad you enjoyed the photo, it meant a lot to me. I am also ecstatically happy that you responded, to read your words was a treat for my eyes. Everyday feels like an eternity when I am not with you. I hope we can make another meeting one day, but I feel it is still much to dangerous. One day perhaps we can meet again, I hope.

I like dogs too, though I am a bigger fan of rabbits, I think it is something about their little noses. And French toast is delicious! I wish there were more morning when I didn't have to get up, sleeping in is always very enjoyable, same with going out for walks. Unfortunately every time I have to go out it is usually for work and I have to get a certain shot or see certain things... never has fun as doing it for yourself.

Now for Round 2:
What is your favourite ice cream topping?
If you could visit any where, where would you go? and why?

Until next time,

Always yours,

[Arianna O'Connor]

Dearest,

I hope we can as well. It is hard not to miss you. I had a dream about us last night. And I won't go into detail but...let's just say we got to be as close to each other as we wanted. It made me only want to be with you even more. I hope we do meet each other again, even if its just as a passing moment. I miss seeing you. I hope your wife appreciates how handsome you are because I know I would.

Aw rabbits are adorable! They are very cuddly I admit. Oh really? Well I've been told that when a smell or something bothers me I scrunch up my nose like a rabbit and wiggle it. I know it probably sounds dumb but a lot of people think its cute. Oh? What is it you do if I may ask?

Hm, okay round 2 um.. let's see. It's a tie between rainbow sprinkles and hot fudge. And if I could visit anywhere I would say Italy, because well I am Italian and I would love to see and visit my homeland in a sense.

I am trying to find something to give you by the way, since you gave me that beautiful photo. Maybe in the next letter I write you will have a surprise.

Missing you always,

[Archer McCallum]

Dearest,

Everyday that I find a letter from you, is one day my life gets a little better. I read your words with such vigour, I can never wait for your next letter. I sit impatiently, waiting and waiting, but the days never seem to go any faster. Are you going to the gala? I would love to see you there. You would be the much needed reprieve from such a torturious event. I don't know how I will survive being in a room with so many people, but I guess it is one of those things that much be done. I really do hope that you will be there.

But to answer your question, I am a photojournalist. But I don't do as nearly as many interesting things as that job title should entail. Manly I cover government campaigns and political speeches. I don't get to go very far, basically covering all the events in New England for a national magazine. I hope to be a travel photographer one day, but it seems so unlikely. Lots of permits involved and visas, and I am not nearly good enough for the company to pay for all that ... so it seems I am stuck here for now.

Life seems to be twirling about me, and I am lost in the chaos. I could just sit in the middle of the mall and watch the hundreds of people go by and never feel so disconnected, but then I just think of you and it makes everything better. You are my anchor, the one thing that keeps me here. I hope to never loose that. Life has gotten harder, and married life is quite the adjustment. Laurie, my wife, is certainly nice enough, and I don't think I ever want to hurt her, but I know I will never be able to feel the same as I do about you. It is a hard way to live, and I don't think it will ever get easier. Maybe one day we will figure this all out.

But that is it for now, I hope to hear from you soon. I wait with anticipation.
Yours Always,

[Arianna O'Connor]

Dearest,

Your words make me blush. I didn't know these words I write to you meant so much, but I feel the same when I find yours. I wasn't sure if I was going to the gala or not, but if you are going to be there then I will come, just to see you. You will be fine, and just think even though we aren't there together, we will still be able to be with each other.

Aw, don't say that. I'm sure you can become a travel photographer one day. Just keep practicing and keep believing in yourself. I believe in you and I know you can do it! I still have that picture you first gave me and even just from that, I can tell you have a great talent. I would love to see more of your work.

As long as you want me around, you will never lose me. I'm glad I can be an anchor for you in this life, you are one for me as well. To be honest, I truly wish that you were the one I could marry...and I wish that you were the one I could give myself to. Well, at least she is nice and will treat you right. I know I will never completely give my heart to my husband either like I would to you, but I hope you're right. One day.

I really do wish we could meet again. I know we can't touch, but it doesn't mean that I don't think about it every day. I wish I could kiss you, be in your arms..I long for that. Anyway, I will stop before I start to ramble haha. Oh I did finally find something to give you, it's a charm from my charm bracelet. It symbolizes that you have my heart. I hope you like it

Missing you always,

[Archer McCallum]

Dearest,

The charm is darling, I have put it on my key chain so I can always be reminded of you. As a return gift I have left you another photo. It is of a particular lovely landscape that I had fun developing. I hope you enjoy it.

Life has gotten harder for me as of late, my father seems to be interfering more than ever in my life. He seems intent to make sure I do as he says. I am not sure if he suspects anything, but I have to be more careful with my actions. Sometimes I wonder if it is all worth it. Each day seems to get more exhausting, hiding my real feelings, being denied what I want most. This is when I wish I could change the world, to make everything better. But I will never have such power, my father will make sure of that.

I am sorry I don't have more to write, but life has been getting harder. I would give anything to have you in my arms, to just have one night alone with you, to tell you all my secrets. But that is all they can ever be, just dreams.

Aching for you,

[Arianna O'Connor]

Dearest,

I'm glad you like the charm, it was the only thing I could think of giving you. Thank you for the photo, I love it and it's so beautiful. You did an amazing job.

I'm sorry that life isn't treating you fairly. Your father is too tough on you. If he can't see what a wonderful son he has then it is his problem not yours. My love you have to stand up to your father. Your life is your own, but I understand that you have to be careful. I know how that feels but you just have to keep holding on. Think of me when you feel like giving up. Are we not worth fighting for? Stand up to him, take that power back from your father.

It's okay, I'm just glad to hear from you again. I had hoped you hadn't forgotten about me. I know life is hard but just keep thinking of us okay? That is one good thing right? Well even in dreams we can meet and be free together, but I wish that it could be reality.

I love you,

[Archer McCallum]

*in hurried slippy hand writing*

I can't stand this anymore. I need to see you. Meet me at the mall. Monday at 2 pm. I will be by the food court.
