Hello Gerard,
I was so scared something had happened. It took close to two months for you letter to reach me. I was going crazy waiting to hear from you. I had almost given up when your letter finally arrived.
I'm sorry things are so terrible there and I pray every night that you return soon. Just watching the news scares me now, knowing that you're there amongst all that fighting. There isn't an hour that goes by that I don't wonder what you're doing or if you're safe. I can't seem to do much else. You're in my every thought and that scares me as well.
I'm glad you listed me as "family". Although I hope I never receive word of something happening to you, the last two months just proved how desperate I need to know. I need to know you're safe and that you're well.
I'm going to assume that it will take this letter just as long to reach you as yours did to reach me, so with that thought in mind, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I know it won't be the same over there and for that I'm truly sorry. I don't really have anything Christmasy to send, so I hope this will do. It's a picture of me taken outside my house, I know it's not much, but sometimes, I have a hard time picturing your face and thought you may be having the same problem. I'd hate to think you were an ocean away conjuring up the face of a girl and not getting it right. It's hard to tell what you could come up with.
I know things are worse than you imagined but hopefully it won't last long. I pray every night for the end of the war and for your safe return. You asked me how was it possible to miss someone you barely knew. I've been trying to figure that one out for two months now. Every time I think of you, my heart aches. I miss you Gerard. Please come home soon.
Missing you,
Naomi
Gerard closed his eyes, trying to hold back the tears that had welled up in them as he repeated Naomi's last line over and over again in his head. Three months of thinking she didn't care came crashing down around him and was replaced with the knowledge that she did. The small feelings of adoration he felt for her grew in that moment, being replaced with the one thing he had always longed for. He knew before he left this place Naomi would be etched into his heart so deeply he would never be able to remove her. He was falling in love with a girl who was slowly stealing his heart and he couldn't wait to see her again.
