Note Six

January 20th 2026

Dear Hope,

You wished me a happy new year and told me you liked my sweater. I think that's the most you've ever said to me. I really like this sweater too. Maybe I should wear it more often now, since you think I look pretty in it. You talked to me. And then you looked at me. And I saw you looking at me again and I caught you. I'm sure you blushed. I did.

This Christmas I've been thinking a lot. About you specially. About your red-ish now not so red hair. How soft it look and so pretty it is when it's up. About your blue eyes. I always thought they were pretty, more interesting than anyone else's. About your paintings, and your clothes, and that smile you gave me before the break.

I realized that I lied when i wrote the other note. I do like you. There is so much to like about you, I hope you know that.

- Josie.
