she walked up behind him  he was sitting at the kitchen table

                                                                   I thought as much, another letter babe?

he nodded continued printing

Anyone writing back?

he shook his head no continued printing

I don’t understand.

he shook his head no

   Well maybe when you finish your letter you could explain it to me please? In the meanwhile I thought I’d make a pot of coffeeinterested?

he bobbed his head

pouring himself a cup he wandered into the room they called the studio  they sat back to back  she at her art  he at his writing

she was in the wide window seat

he bent downkissed her forehead Hiya beautiful sat down across from her

                                                                               she sighed smiledslightly  I don’t get it. 

I gotta write one way or another

You could call.
