As she had promised, Bea had mailed out her first letter and a Valentine's day card to Eli before he even left, so she was hoping he got it sometime close to Valentine's day.
The card was one of those square ones from Hallmark that had two birds kissing on the front and said something schmoopy about love, but when you opened it up there was a close up picture of Bea and Pippa with their faces pressed together, Bea smiling and Pippa with her tongue out attempting to lick the camera. Bea had written "I love you!" with a million exclamation points on the other side and there was a folded white piece of paper containing her first letter.
It was also the sort of card that allowed you to record a message and it featured Bea saying "Happy Valentines day, baby! I miss you and love you so much." Then a muted whisper of "say something" followed by the noise of sniffing, a loud Pippa yip and Bea's laugh before it cut off.
The letter read:
Letter #1
Dear Eli,
You're still here, taking a shower in my bathroom as I write this, but you'll be leaving tomorrow. I know I promised to write what was happening, but you're still here and you know what's happening, so what I'd like to do is tell you some things that maybe I haven't, or maybe I have and I just want you to hear again.
I know I'm going to miss you so much it makes me crazy, but I want you to know that I think what you're doing is a brave and gallant thing. I'm so proud of you, and no matter how hard I cry or how much I miss you, I know it's your job and I'm never going to hold that against you. You're so special. You're easily the most wonderful, kind, gentle, beautiful man I've ever known and I swear I'm going to do right by you while you're gone. You've changed me entirely for the better in the few months we've been together and that's something I'll be forever grateful for. I love you more than I could ever say and more than I could ever express properly. You're priceless, wonderful, and entirely perfect to me. Just looking at you makes me happy. I've never loved anyone or anything the way I love you, and I don't know if such a thing as "the one" exists, but if it does, I know that without a doubt you are that person for me.
Ugh, okay. That's enough mushy bullshit for now. Please be safe and come home soon.
Miss and love you,
Bea
