First Letter
Hey,
It’s been a while. There are many things I would love to tell you right now but while I sit here and write, I can’t help but notice the empty spot you left. The first few days after you left weren’t that bad. I did everything as always. I made breakfast. Silly me also cooked your part, but that’s only because I’m so used to you being here with me every day.
After the first few days I got better, I think so at least. I mean, I haven’t stopped missing you, how could I when you are my world, my soul, the very reason to stand up every morning. No, I mean that I got better at ignoring the feeling of falling apart, the feeling of my soul breaking.
It’s so difficult in town. The other ladies often ask me when I will start my search for a husband, they think that only because you are female, I can’t be your spouse. It makes me so angry when they don’t believe me, when I declare that I am yours and I hate it. I am yours just as you are mine. I know you would never be unfaithful to me and I hate how those old hags want me to think otherwise.
Once in a while they should simply accept that love has no gender and even a lady like yourself can fall in love with an average female like me. I know, I know. I’m not average. I’m a smart and beautiful young woman and I shouldn’t talk like that. Oh, how much I need you to tell me this right now.
This house is so big and lonely without you.
It seems like it got really late. I should start with some work.
I miss you my lady
In Love,
Your Soulmate
Title + Summary we get a rough idea of what the book is about from both the title and the summary, it gives us a rough idea of what to expect but those letters could contain anything. The first letter introduces us to this nameless protagonist, but even as she stays anonymous, we get an idea as to who the person she is sending the letters to. I love the fact you have made it lgbt, it isn’t often seen and seeing as the book gives me ww2 vibes, it adds that other aspects of it not being widely accepted so it makes their love even more profound. I enjoyed your writing style and the small details you’ve put into the letter that tells us more of their day to day life.
