My manager at work talked to one of his friends, who rents out cottages, about me being a great worker and he got me into my own cottage! It is small. Very small. It was completely empty. I don't have enough money for any furniture yet so I'm not quite sure where to sleep or sit.

I have already saved up a couple hundred dollars and I plan to use that for basic living needs.

I dont have my own pots and pans or anything like that. That was all provided in the small apartment/motel that I was staying in. Now I have empty cupboards with no food and nothing to cook with. I have to go shopping.

I got a letter today. No return address but it was from William.

To my darling and the light of my life,

I miss you so much but I understand why you had to leave. I want to come be with you. I'll leave my life behind for you and never go back. I hope you're safe. I dont want your parents to find you. That would be horrible and we both know it. I hate being so far from you. I hate not being there to protect you. Please call me somehow. I need to talk to you. I need to come to you. Please. I love you

-William

Tears are pouring down my face. I miss him more than anything in the world. I don't know how I'm supposed to call him without having my parents finding out. I will think about that tonight.
