Dear William

My darling. It’s Melissa here! I think of you as ‘William’ now, I won’t use that other name they gave you. I’m a little upset, well, concerned is probably a better word, that you haven’t replied to my letter yet. That’s if ‘they’ ever gave it to you! Maybe they didn’t. But if you did get it and you are reading this now please do contact me.

Of course, I understand that you must be so busy at the moment. What with everything going on. I didn’t see you on Richard and Judy last week. I didn’t know you were going to be on – if I did I would have recorded the whole thing! How terrible, William, that they’re saying all these terrible things about you. I know they’re not true. I know that in your heart you are a good man. Who could blame you for reacting how you did when you’re being questioned like that?

It hasn’t changed anything for me, though. I still love you. I still listen to your voice on my little iPod every night! Imagining you’re there with me, whispering gently into my ear. People can be so cruel, can’t they? But if you were with me I could protect you. We could protect each other. We could work together to help kids – fundraising, that sort of thing. You’d like that, wouldn’t you?

William, I’m just asking for a chance. I know in my heart we can be happy together. Please call or write or get in touch by carrier pigeon! Anything! I just want a chance to prove how much I love you.

Melissa

PS: I could do with a few more voices for my trailer for the book – last week’s appeal wasn’t the most successful I’ve ever had. Have a read and get back to me, please? Thank you!

This week’s soundtrack: One Way or Another – Blondie

This week’s e-book recommendation: How to Stop a Stalker – Detective Mike Proctor (As I said last week, there is truly an e-book for every occasion. This book is non-fiction).
