A letter is never ill-timed; it never interrupts.
Instead it waits for us to find the opportune minute, the quiet moment to savor the message.
There is an element of timelessness about letter writing.

"Which one do I wear?" I ask as I hold up two suits.
"Which ever one you wanna wear Katana." My girlfriend says. "They wanna meet you and they wanna meet your true self."
We're in Austin now and I'm meeting 8 of Mikaela's best friends tonight.
I'm extremely nervous.
We beat Norway 3-0 thanks to goals from Talia, Christen, and Lynn.
I hope I never have to play another emotional game like that again.
"But what if..." I say as I look at the suit I wanna wear.
"Katana." Mikaela says as she approaches me.
When my girlfriend gets to me, she wraps her arms around me
"I want you to wear whatever you wanna wear tonight." Mikaela says.
I've been struggling with what to wear since we got to Austin.
"Now if that means you wanna wear your blue suit then you wear your blue suit." Mikaela says. "But if you wanna wear you're beautiful Ankara suit then you do just that."
"Have I ever told you how lucky I am to be with you?" I ask.
"You and I say it every day." My girlfriend says then she pecks my lips. "Now go get dressed."
"Yes dear." I say then I grab a suit and head into the bathroom of our suite to get dressed.
After I'm dressed, I put on my jewelry, make sure my locs look good, then I put on my perfume.
Once I'm ready, I leave the bathroom and walk out into bedroom of the master bedroom here in our Austin Airbnb.
The national team is staying in the Airbnb's I own here in Austin.
The 4 Airbnb's I own in Austin are on the same block.
Their also on the same street block as other Airbnb's and I know the other owners so I contacted them and now the whole US Women's national team and staff are staying in a cul-de-sac together.
The entrance to the cul-de-sac is protected by a 24/7 armed protection team that Cairo hired.
"Ooh you're sexy." Mikaela says as she looks at me and my suit.

"As are you." I say as I ogle Mikaela and the very beautiful blue dress she's wearing.
"You ready?" Mikaela asks.
I nod then I grab the leashes of my harnessed up dogs as Mikaela grabs our things.
Once Mikaela and I have everything we need, we leave our room, head downstairs, leave the Airbnb, get in a rental, then my girlfriend drives to the restaurant.
