Dear Marvin,

Link me up with your thirty cousins, all of them! (I’m serious)

Thanks for your concerns, I know there are many bad people in this world, but I actually really enjoy talking to you. Tell me if I’m wrong, but I feel like we’re even becoming friends!

Unfortunately, it’s just me, my dad, and my brother, but I might’ve overreacted a tiny bit. They’re honestly not as bad as I made them look, and they also have some good sides to them.

I admire you for your dreams, and I can’t even imagine how hard it must be too hope for freedom. Keep dreaming. Marvin, and who knows? One day your dreams might come true!

I also took a look at the pictures you send me, and just like you, I also had to hold my breath. I think you might be one of the ugliest human beings I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and trust me, I’ve seen a lot!

(I only gave you the reaction you wanted.)

Dear Marvin, I have something to confess.

I haven’t had a genuine smile on my face in a long time, but somehow you’ve managed to cheer me up. I want to thank you for your time, and please know that I appreciate it a lot. Your emails are the highlight of my day, and I’m always looking forward to them!

I truly hope we can continue this friendship, and I hope you feel the same way

Love,

Lena

“It looks like you’re busy.” Alex spoke as he leaned over my shoulder to see what I was doing. I let out a surprised gasp and closed my laptop.

Getting privacy in this damn house seemed impossible, and my brother snooping on my laptop to see what I was doing was the living proof of it.

The last thing I needed him to see was me confessing my love to a prisoner. Could it even be seen as a confession?

Yes, technically, it could-but I had no romantic feelings whatsoever. I was just grateful to have Marvin as a friend, and I enjoyed talking to him. The best thing was that he would be in prison for his entire life, so I had found a friend who wouldn’t bail on me, unlike Victoria.

“So?” Alex asked. “What were you doing, and why did you close your laptop?”

I had hoped for him to leave, but he sat down next to me and waited for my answer. “I was making recipes.” I twisted the truth. It wasn’t exactly a lie, I was busy with the recipes for the wedding, but it had been a spontaneous decision to email Marvin instead.

To be honest, I didn’t even have time to email Marvin. I had so much to do for the wedding, and hearing these people were wealthy, only made me more nervous. I had to make sure that the drinks were of the best quality, and I didn’t want to become the laughing stock at the wedding.

“Is it for that wedding you were so happy about yesterday?” Alex smiled. I gave him a nod and handed him my notebook. “These people are willing to pay a lot, and Rona could really use that money towards the shop.

“I see,” Alex spoke as he browsed through the notebook. “Caramel popcorn cocktail?” Alex laughed. “Somehow, you always come with the craziest stuff.”

“Yes,” I snarled and snatched the book from his hands. “And as you can see, there are many people who can accept my creativity.”

If this was the comment he was going to give me, he could keep it.

“What are you doing here anyway? Don’t you have work?”

Alex placed his hand on top of mine and looked at me with a worried look on his face. I shoved my notebook to the side and stared at him. “Alex, what’s wrong?”

Alex let out a deep breath and sat down. “Alex, come on!”

I was anticipating his words and was secretly preparing myself for the worst. “Dad isn’t doing very well,” Alex spoke. “I need you to take it easy on him. It turns out the DEA had the wrong person after all, and the person who supposedly killed Maddens is innocent and will be getting released tomorrow.”
