LETTERS NEVER DELIVERED · Maxie Rouge
My darling Selkie,
The salesperson told me this paper is for important declarations. I paid extra for the gold edges.
Here is mine: I would like to see your beautiful self tonight. May I come over?
There. An excellent use of expensive stationery!
I will bring noodles, your scandalously green drink, and several compliments I have been saving specifically for the moment you open the door. Please allow me to finish at least one before touching my hair. You know what happens to my vocabulary.
AH, I almost forgot to mention, my little commander. I remember you took my hand halfway through explaining the choreography of your next scene.
I have thought about that all morning. Cruel woman. Beloved menace. Look what you have done to a very innocent dragon!
Years, Selkie. I found myself hoping for years.
There. Now the paper has earned its gold embellishements.
Yours, in a state of magnificent longing, Maxie
P.S. I drew the cola bottle myself. Should you find my artistic abilities lacking, I am available for a private demonstration of my...other talents.
