"Nick could you pick my clothes up off the floor and pass them to me?"

"Alex their literally right next to you and I'm brushing my teeth do it yourself"

"Ye but I can't bend over now, remember the doctor said yesterday"

"Oh ye" nick said sarcastically as he walked over to hand her the fresh clothing, as he picked them up, a little toothpaste slipped from his mouth and onto her skirt. Shit. "Nick what was that you bastard i can never let you do anything" she shouted in a bratty voice like a 5 year old. Nick stood tapping his foot as she had a bigger tantrum than her 1 year old nephew.

Karl handed the last bag of goods to his customer and followed behind then as they walked out of the door. As he reached for the open and closed sign, he saw the mailman walking up to his door holding a small white envelope. He opened the door and kindly took the letter and quickly went to leave.

To karl jacobs

He raised his legs onto the coffee table and stared off into the tv, he wasn't watching the programme, it was more of a past time than anything.

The envelop sat half opened on the table. Karl reached over for it and sat back in his comfortable seat, he began to rip open the other hand and slip the letter out of its packaging. The paper was so... fancy? The handwriting was so beautifully written in cursive, a few ink spills dotted the paper and a small crayon doodle in the corner. Karl furrowed his eye brown in confusion but began to read on anyway...
