Waver Velvet writes to the grandparents he wished were actually his, even though they pretty much are at this point
The Letter, or
by yuuJuly 9, 1995
Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
I hope this letter finds you both in good health! I’ve been getting used to life back at the university, and the sunburn has finally healed — that’ll teach me to never go through Egypt without sunscreen again! It’s good timing, since London’s been warm and most of my seminars are over. I can go outside again (stop laughing — I do leave the library on occasion!).
Oh! Before I forget — Alex contacted me recently (sorry I didn’t mention it last week when I called, but I think I was too frazzled by end of term exams to remember). He just headed out of the country to… Turkey? Pretty sure he said Turkey, but knowing him, he’ll be somewhere else on the continent soon enough. It’s physically impossible for that man to stay in one place for too long. Next time we catch up, I’ll get him to write a note to send off!
I’ll end this letter here with more wishes for your continued health. Until we talk again!
