status: Beginning
In an attempt to lift his spirits, Anthony helped himself to a serving of pancakes, just before the morning owls swooped in. One familiar owl dropped a box on in front of his plate, while a few cards followed. Anthony smiled, opening the correspondance from both of his sisters and his parents. It was a relief to hear from Sarah, even though it lacked a return address and her nearly laughed at the joke inside of Rachel's. It was hard not to miss home at a time like this.
