Dear Harry,

You are very clever. Yes, my parents are divorced, and my mom still lives in Arizona. We've always been close, and it was hard for me to move here. She's been asking me to come home for the past three years. I think it finally sank in that I'm staying, because she helped me get an apartment! I moved in over the weekend. It's old and small, but it's close to campus and free, so I really can't complain. I don't have any pets, but maybe I'll get a cat or a fish or some Sea-Monkeys.

My dad and I weren't very close while I was growing up. He was basically a stranger. Asking to move in made for a very awkward conversation. We ended up getting along great, though. We have so many things in common it's almost creepy. He had no problem with me staying there for another year, but I think he's happy to reclaim his living room (man cave) and bathroom (man throne). I think it'll be nice to be on my own, too. This is the first place that I can call my own.

I'm an only child as well. And NO, I don't have children! I've been seeing someone on and off since last fall, but it's nothing serious. I'm not interesting in a relationship with anyone right now.

What do I look like? Let's see. I'm medium height with brown hair and brown eyes. Pretty average. I used to be tan, but after living here for three years, I'm white and pasty. I tried a spray tan once. Apparently orange isn't my color. What about you? I only know what was listed in your profile. I keep picturing big muscles and tattoos. Are you bald? Do you have a goatee? I'm still trying to get the vision of stripes out of my head.

I refuse to censor my feelings. What you said about your past is heartbreaking, and I do feel for you. I honestly believe that having a family is within your reach if it's something you truly want. It sounds like you've done a lot to get your life on track. You'll find someone who will look beyond your mistakes. Everyone deserves to have somebody special.

I'm glad you aren't locked in your cell all day. A small window must be better than none, right? I highly suggest you don't attempt to squeeze through the bars. If you got stuck, you'd be the laughing stock of the entire facility and probably make it on one of those dumbest criminal shows. I have to imagine that would be embarrassing.

It's a good thing you have a means to buy Pop-Tarts. I don't think the square edges would be very comfortable to smuggle in if you know what I mean. (Was that in poor taste? I don't know the etiquette for prison jokes.) I looked into sending you frosting, but according to the WSCF website, I can only send you letters. When you get out, your first tub of frosting is on me. What flavor do you want?

Do you ever think about what your life will be like when you're released? You said you don't know where you'll go or what you'll do for work, but what about the simple stuff? What's the first thing you'll eat? What's something you look forward to doing?

Good luck,
Bella
