:55:02
I- I would have called sooner...
:55:04
but I think I needed some time to think
about everything that happened...
:55:07
and what you wrote to me.
:55:10
Another reason, um,
I didn't call you sooner...
:55:13
is because I wanted to finish your book,
which I finally did last night.
:55:16
And I think it's really lovely, Miles.
:55:19
You're so good with words.
:55:22
Who cares
if it's not getting published?
:55:24
There are so many beautiful
and... painful things about it.
:55:30
Did you really go through all that?
:55:32
Must have been awful.
:55:35
And the sister character-
geez, what a wreck.
:55:40
But I have to say that, well,
I was really confused by the ending.
:55:44
I mean, did the father
finally commit suicide, or what?
:55:48
It's driving me crazy.
:55:52
Anyway...
:55:54
it's turned cold and rainy here lately...
:55:58
but I like winter.
:56:01
So, listen, if you ever do decide to come
up here again, you should let me know.
:56:05
I would say stop by the restaurant,
but to tell you the truth...
:56:08
I'm not sure how much longer
I'm gonna be working there...
:56:10
because I'm going to graduate soon.
:56:13
So I'll probably want to relocate.
:56:15
I mean, we'll see.
:56:18
Anyway, like I said,
I really loved your novel.
:56:22
Don't give up, Miles.
Keep writing.
:56:27
I hope you're well.
:56:30
Bye.
