I miss you, too – more than I ever imagined.
Yours,
John

Emily replied quickly,realizing that he’d just sent the email.

John – are you online now?

She didn’t havelong to wait as her computer dinged again, notifying her of the email response from him.
A thrill shot straight to her toes as she realized that this was giving her a chance to ‘talk’to him clear on the other side of the world, making her wonder what time it was over there…

Emily – hey! Yes, I’m at the computer station right now for just a few…
How are you?
Did you like the flowers?
I miss your smile terribly…

John,
I’m good and working like crazy to keep me from focusing too much on saying goodbye. I don’t like goodbyes in the slightest… and no.
I’m not available in January.
I’m sorry.
That’s prime-time tax season for me…
Emily

Emily – what about February?
I can take time at the end of the month. Caboose already has Valentine’s Day secured… or else I would be there dressed as Cupid for ya!

John,
While that is a mental picture… and as tempting as it is to see you in a diaper? I’m going to have to decline. Unfortunately, I’m afraid February is out, too.
I am usually pinned down from the beginning of January until the end of April, early May, because of taxes and late filings.
