My letters to you - Spencer Reid x OC

07

To Elizabeth,

   I hope you know that I enjoyed hearing your voice for the first time. I hope we can talk like that more often. I feel very privileged that you gave me your cell number. 

   My team figured out about the letters, so I ended up telling them about you. They seem pretty happy that I'm talking to someone outside of the FBI and that's a similar age to me. Derek won't stop asking questions about you, your name, what you do, what you look like. Do you find it strange that we've been talking for over two months and still don't know what each other look like? Somehow it feels normal.

   I've been reading up about chess whenever I have time, don't think I'm planning on loosing when you come to DC! Though if I do loose, it would be an honour to loose to such an impressive woman. 

   I also haven't seen the Star Wars prequels, in fact I only found out about them recently. It would be fun to watch them together. I could probably rent them when you fly in. Speaking of which, how are we even going to meet up when we don't even know who to look for? Maybe we could meet at the Invitationals?

   I have another question for you. What's your favourite colour?

          I hope to hear from you soon,

                      Spencer

Dear Spencer,

   I also liked hearing your voice. Somehow I could imagine you on the other side of the phone, despite having never seeing you. I read somewhere that its impossible to think up a new face and you have to use features that you've already seen to imagine a character. I think that's why we're unable to create aliens that don't look somewhat humanoid, because we can't imagine a sentient creature that isn't. 

   It is strange that we don't know what each other looks like. However I also find it normal. It's kind of cool also, not knowing what each other looks like. Our own faces are a mystery to each other. I'm looking forward to seeing what you look like and if my guesses are close. Do you guess what I look like? 

   I am anticipating our game in two weeks. I can't believe it's that close. I'm planning on getting into DC the Saturday morning so I have the weekend before the competition to settle in and I'm leaving on the Sunday after, so I'll be in DC for 9 days. I was actually hoping you could pick me up from the airport. It would be nice to start the trip off with a friendly face. 

   And my favourite colour is yellow. Very odd colour, I know. It reminds me of tulips, they're my favourite flower. What's your favourite colour? 

   My question for you is who is your favourite poet? 

              I can't wait to meet you in person,

                         Elizabeth
