My Dearest James,

It is beyond me how we could both feel the same way at the same time and come to realize it simultaneously.

You have said everything I had hoped for and more. Even still, I beg you to give me more; please, James, anything shall do.

Last night re-reading your words stirred up new emotions in me, awakening a physical beast I have yet to tame. I fear it cannot be done in your absence. Good God, help us.

I wondered if you, too, felt that same ferocity, but upon reading your message, I instantly recognized your words as those of a starving man.

You should know that I shall be ready for you upon your return. Until then, consider my soul equally as tortured.

Ever, My Dear James, Most faithfully and Entirely Yours,
Steven
