"My beautiful, beautiful Cheese,

You won't believe it. We'll be together soon. It's official, we only have to be apart for one more month. We've gone this long, right? We can make it one more month. We can. God, I hope you're getting these. I have a big surprise for you when I get back.

I wonder about your trial a lot. Have you finished it? Have you saved any lives yet? I bet you have. I'll get back and you'll be too humble to tell me. Do your patients know how good you are? They do, I'm sure of it.

I bet you tell them all about your writer boyfriend. On that topic, I did write a song. A few weeks ago, actually, after I kept having that dream. I didn't want to share it with you because it came from a dark place. Maybe I'll play it for you when I get back, when neither of us will have any excuse to be sad, and we can laugh at stupid Kookie's childish worries.

We really do have a timeline now. I still can't believe it. Have I said that yet? I still want to write you a happier song, so maybe I'll start working on that now. After all, I am in a happy place.

Love, Kookie"

"Aw" is all Jimin says. He's been sitting criss cross on the ground across from me as I read the letter.

"I wish I could hear that song." I smile sadly.

"Me too."
