To Jonas
The cat's out of the bag. I told them. Things got ugly. There was a lot of yelling and crying and then hugging. In the end my parents blamed themselves. I had to go to the Common Area in Central Square tomorrow. I'd told them a day earlier than I intended to. That's where the enlisting happens and all of that.

This is life of the little town of Dalli.

I'm scared. Really scared. I did this for my family and all but, I so scared. It's the fact that maybe I'll won't be able to make it home again after the war. Maybe I'll get the million dollar wound. Where the wound is bad enough to send you back home but not leaving you handicapped.

That is if I make it long enough.

Is this how you felt when you enlisted to the army knowing that there would be a chance of not seeing them again?

Well at least you still seem brave to me.

Remember how I said I was trying to find your picture?

Miraculously I found it. I hate admitting this to you if your reading this, but you look pretty good.

Handsome.

This must be boosting your ego.

From Ava
