Dear Rowenthal

I hope this email finds you well. I hope you are well-in general-I mean. I am doing well for myself if you are asking. I am so well that I, well, I don't know the right sentence to say this, but I want to see you Rowie. Not on a call, not on this weird app that replaces our telegrams, but I want to see you, you and only you, your realest face. I hope this goes without references of our past, but since I am out here, living in an inn in Columbine Valley, I really wish I can see you tonight. Take your time to think, you always do. I will try my dear best to wait and expect you, even if I barely have to say that I can't sometimes be the girl you've always dreamed of, if that ever means something. It has been my 5th day in Colorado by the way, hopefully tonight I can spend it with you, after all these years we have been separated. Deeply sorry if you find this letter awkward, or if there was something I ever did wrong, lets meet each other once more.

Yours,
Kaylee

Reading that email really got Row's attention. He immediately drove to Columbine Valley right away. It took him three minutes finding an inn in the valley. And as he arrived, he then walked to the reception.

"Uhm. Excuse me madam, I am looking for Kaylee, Kaylee Gigan. Is she here?." Row asked

"Hold on." The receptionist searched, later she found and said. "I am sorry she just checked out."

Row realized he was too late, until

"You came." She said

Rowenthal stared behind to the right, seeing Kaylee in front of the female toilet entrance, formalizing her hands, giving her smile to Row.

"Kaylee?." Row walked slowly, assuring if she was really real

"You came." She said

"Y. Yes. I. I came." Row answered with outnumbering his shyness

Kaylee giggled and said; "W. Well. W. Wow. You. You look.....shorter than I remember."

"Uhm.....I don't have a goal for weight anyways." Row stated the growth from years ago

'Right." She smiled. She walked closer, and said. "Its uhm.....good to see you Row."

"Af. After years?." Row asked gently

"Y. Yes Rowiethal. We are uhm.....finally together. After years." Kaylee smiled answered akwardly

"Right. Uhm......." Row gave a thought, he is very aware of the next thing he says. "What....uhm......brings you here?."

"Uwwwellllllll..........I am uhm tripping here." Kaylee said directly

"Oh." Row reacted

"Yeah and uhm, by tripping, I don't mean that uhm, messing up, I mean....." Kaylee disclosed

"Yeahuhm.....I know what it means, Imean, yeahIknow." Row slipped his words

"Yeah right soooo......I am technically spending time here you know..........." Kaylee tightened her hands more

"O.......k.........where......are you going next?." Wondered Row

"Uhm......maybe you and I....Imean, maybe its time I uhm....spend proper time with you....if youhavethetime, I mean." Kaylee implicitly requested

"Sure.........Well.......Where to though?." Asked Row

"Lets.....pond...Imean, gotothepond." Kaylee slipped her words

"Actually uhm....this area is known for lakes, not ponds so......well....." Row impersonated a bicycle. "Hop to it then." And invited Kaylee to the Baleno. The receptionist never have ever seen anything so awkward in her years of service.
