An Empty Tea Cup and a Note That Says I Love You (Sequel to Lonely People)

It's late 1964, 7 years after Rosie Carlson was with John, and she hasn't heard from him since. There never came a letter, no matter how many times she tried to get a response, and she is still trying to hear from him, sending John letters every time she can. Doing her best to move on, which is hard to do, Rosie works most of her days, living in a crappy little flat in London. Francis, her best friend and the one she met at her work, has been her outlet of her sadness, yet he's hoping to be something more, and she's not saying no. Rosie almost begins to feel she can live without John, she has before, but that changes when a regular customer, with a secret, comes in one day, leaving something for her, and everything is flipped upside down for better, and for worse.
