DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND [ ZONAH ]

letter twenty-two

june 16, 2017

dear future husband,

today is jonah's birthday:)

i drove over to his town to spend the day with him, and meet some of his friends and family.

we had been texting non stop since april, and got to know each other really well. i learned everything about him, from his favourite book series (harry potter) to his favourite sport (baseball). i learned about how much he loves coffee, and how he can only sleep with a fan on because he needs some white noise. i learned that he's a year older than me, now a junior at mit, and he was on the baseball team.

my friends constantly teased me about him, playfully of course, and how i would never shut up about him.

i drove with a smile on my face, because i would finally be able to see the boy who gave me butterflies again.

when i got to jonah's, he immediately ran out of the house and gave me a huge hug. one that made me feel all warm inside. i would be content with getting hugs like that for the rest of my life.

he introduced me to his childhood best friend, eben (not to be confused with evan), his mom carrie, his dad tim, and his three siblings, zebulon, esther, and svea.

they were all so kind and welcoming. jonah's dad barbecued while i sat with him and eben, talking about the most random things.

at some point, jonah moved to wrap his arm around my shoulders which gave me butterflies all over again.

after lunch, we had cake that jonah's younger sister had made, which was delicious. eben had to leave soon after, and jonah told me we would go on a walk together.

we walked through the shops in his small town, until we made it to a beautiful park, complete with magnolia trees and benches. we sat in the shade, talking and laughing, and being with him felt so natural. i gave him my present, which was just a stupid harry potter mug for his coffee, but he claimed that he loved it.

we sat in silence for a while before he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. i leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled, because at that moment, my life was everything i wanted it to be.

after a while, we walked back home and i said goodbye to his family, who all gave me hugs, making me feel almost at home. then jonah gave me a hug and kissed the top of my h

sorry that was me passing away because he actually kissed my head. my life is complete right now.

continuing on...

i got in my car and immediately called jack, waving to the frantzichs as i drove away. jack and i screamed and fangirled over everything that had happened to me in the past few hours, and for once in my life, i felt truly content.

like nothing could ever ruin my mood.

love you forever<3
