Dear Roger,

It's been about two weeks since I read your most recent letter and I cannot apologise enough. Nonna isn't really doing any better and i've been running errands every hour of every day. I have had almost no time to write you back until now. I'm sorry, mio caro.

You are impossibly sweet in every letter you send and i'm honestly not sure how you do it. I told nonna you send your love and she sends hers back! :) She called you a sweetheart and I have to agree.

I went to the doctors with her three days ago and they said it's nothing more than a common cold, but since she's elderly it's hit her quite hard. I don't think they're right, though. I have to physically help her out of bed every morning and she throws up almost every hour. I'm sorry, that was too much information. You didn't need to know that.

I'm not usually this tricky or this stressed, I promise. I'm also writing this incredibly fast so I can get back to nonna, so please excuse the almost unreadable handwriting.

Thank you for your support, Rog. Honestly, it means the world to me. The thought of seeing more of your letters come through the door are the only thing keeping me sane. I can't blame nonna, though.

I'm so glad you liked the jacket! And i'm so glad it made its way to you! It feels just wonderful, doesn't it? I swear I spent a good three hours just stroking it.

I'm not sure what to say to your dirty doctor kink. Deciding wether or not I should send that desired picture of yours. Will I willingly go out and buy a doctors coat just to send you a picture of me in it? Time will tell. Mind you, I wouldn't mind seeing you in a doctors coat, too. Oh God, I think I might have a sexy doctor kink too. What have you done to me? You're such a bad influence.

Anyway, on to the more important stuff. I think we maybe need to talk about it on the phone, though. Because oh God, Roger, I really do like you. And I know it's absurd and I know long distance relationships and stuff like that are so hard, but if you're willing to try, then so am I. You make me feel ways nobody has ever made me feel before and it's quite scary. But a good scary.

I'll try to respond to you much quicker next time. If the doctors were right, nonna should be fine in no time.

Love,
Deaky x
