how about...spring/summer 2006? he left school mid-fall semester in '04 and spent about a year after that fairly sequestered in his missions base in greece (a little bit of atonement/spiritual renovation after everything that caused him to drop out), so mid-'06 would make sense for him to venture out and feel free to do a little exploring? lol if he were literally ANY other character i've ever written, i would say yes to this because i think it's adorable, but he is the worst at snail mail. that said, he'd make an effort at first but it would die off pretty quickly. like she'd get one or two solid letters for a couple months in a row, then a postcard a couple months later, then an e-mail six months after that, then a facebook message in the middle of the night two christmases later...
