How to live someone else's life...

"Dear Amber,

Do you remember the first time we heard "Crazy"on the radio and we knew that, from that moment, our life was going to be different? How in a second every smile, every touch and every lame joke you said made sense to me? Yeah, you were crazy, perhaps insane, but I didn't want someone else to discover that and I was crazy too, maybe that's why I fell for you. Maybe it's all a part of a master plan, but I don't care, why should I? I know I will feel the same even when we are 80. When we can't walk without each other and we will spend our time trying to remember how it was at that Aerosmith concert. Or how we didn't talk an entire day, just because I didn't let you the last piece of chocolate. I know I am not going to do that mistake again. EVER. I learnt my lesson.
But we are still young, we have enough time to make new memories, new mistakes. I can't wait to. I know you will think I am a fool, but at least you accepted me that way. That is the best part, we are accepting each other because we were and we will always be best friends. That is why I never felt weird around you, I just felt happy.
I know you will laugh when you will come from work and you will read this, but you know I am kind of a nerd about those things, so I couldn't help it. Just enjoy it and don't forget to bring your coat, it is going to be a little bit cold tonight.

Happy birthday darling,
Yours one and only husband and lame jokes listener"


" Hello my dears,

I know I should have written you earlier, but every time I try I can't find my words. What can I actually say? I know you miss me, but now this is all that I have ever dreamed about. I traveled to Peru and I finally saw Machu Picchu. You won't believe the view, being surronded by mountains and watching the world like you would be on the top of it. Then we went to Thailand and stood all the night on the beach watching the stars. I always wondered if there are two people who watch the sky at the same time and see the same things. And we moved to Cambodia. You know I always wanted to see the temples in Angkor. You won't believe how beautiful it is to be in the center of those historical sites.
Right now I am somewhere safer let's say. I am in Maldives, in Vaadhoo Island and I admire the Sea of stars. It's something that changes your life forever once you've seen it. I can't even describe it. It's like I can touch the sky or step on it. I wish you were here with me. And feel the same way. Maybe it was hard to choose to leave, but traveling and actually making a living from it, it's something that we all wish for. So I don't regret anything.
I don't know when I will see you, but I want you to know I am ok and I couldn't be happier. Maybe one day you will understand my choice.

Yours,
Sophie"

- Ok, fellas, it's 8, we have to go. That's enough work for a day.
- Just one moment! I have to save those.
- Ok, Jamie, I know you are our best card writer, but you need some time for yourself.
- I am ready, I am ready. That's all.
- Don't listen to him. He's jealous. We know how passionate you are about your writing.
- Thanks!
- By the way, how are you? How it's Cate?
- I am good, I think. And Cate...well, she is leaving...
- What?
- Yeah, that was my reaction too.
- But how? Why? I don't get it.
- I don't know. She said that I am living through other people's eyes too much and I forgot about my own life. But you know, that is my job. That means to be a writer...
