Dear Emily,

I've been reading a lot these days. My favorite place to be is in my window seat. I like curling up with a blanket and losing myself in the story of someone else's life for a little while. It makes me forget about mine.

But sometimes, when I can't concentrate, and my head is filled with thoughts of you, I'll just sit there. There's a bird nest in the tree outside of my window. Sometimes I stare at it, trying to catch the eggs hatching, counting leaves until I get bored. And sometimes I just sit and stare at nothing particular, an occasional wild animal of some sort catching my eye.

I love this window seat. I only wish you could too.

- Delilah.
