Ezra in Beach City (Book 2)

Love Letters

At the Beach House, Steven and Connie took selfies outside on the hill to the Beach House.

"You blinked!" Connie said.

"Let's just take another one." Steven suggested.

"Oh wait. What if we get a shot with the beautiful view behind us?" Connie suggested, as she walked towards the sea. "Come on, Steven!"

Steven blushed, and got up to join Connie.

"Say cheese!" Connie smiled as she held up her phone.

"Cheeeese!" Steven and Connie said.

Steven and Connie tried to maintain smiling, while Connie tried unsuccessfully to tap on the capture button.

"Did it do it?" Steven mumbled.

"I don't know." Connie mumbled back.

"Press it again." Steven mumbled.

"I've been pressing it." Connie mumbled.

Jamie showed up and smiled.

"Heh. You guys look cute." Jamie commented.

"Jamie!" Steven greeted.

"What's up, Steven?" Jamie smiled. "Long time No see!"

"Ohhhh... myyy... gooosh!" Steven laughed as he ran over and excitedly gave a high-five to Jamie. "Jamie, this is Connie."

"Greetings, Connie." Jamie greeted.

"So, where you been at?" Steven asked.

"Oh, you know, just spendin' some time where all the big pictures are made..." Jamie explained.

"Uh, where's that?" Steven asked again.

"Just a little place called Kansas!" Jamie informed as he waved his hand across the air.

"Oh! Are you an aspiring thespian?" Connie asked.

"Why, ah-yes I am." Jamie nodded as he took a bow.

"Wow, I didn't know you wanted to be an actor." Steven said.

"That's because..." Jamie informed, before he turned around and clenched his fist dramatically. "I'm very good at acting."

Steven and Connie clapped in amazement.

"Is that why you're wearing those cool glasses that say "Movie Star"?" Steven asked, as he pointed to Jamie's sunglasses.

"Uh, well, no." Jamie replied with a blush. "I just bought these at a souvenir shop. I missed being a regular old mailman, so I just came back. And, uh, you got a lot of mail while I was gone."

He put down the big bag he was carrying.

"Looks like the postal service has been slacking off." Connie said.

"Jamie's the only mailman that knows where I live." Steven explained.

"I'm gonna need a lot of signatures as well." Jamie said as he handed out his sign pad.

Steven cracked his knuckles, but no noise was made.

"Your knuckles are so quiet." Connie commented.

"My hands are polite." Steven stated.

"Oh, Garnet!" Connie greeted as she noticed Garnet emerge from the ocean.

"Hi, Garnet!" Steven smiled.

"Hello, Garnet!" Connie said.

"Who's Garneeeee—?!" Jamie asked, as he turned to look at Garnet, drenched and approached from the ocean, and was immediately starstruck.
