When Jacob wrote a letter, it was always beautiful. The linen paper of a quality you could feel. His penmanship was one that was crafted careful and well. He could have freehand wrote wedding invitations.

Dear Charley,

I hope you are well, it has been an unfortunate amount of time since we last spoke to one another. I have been busy with a vast array of circumstances.

Besides wishing to see you, I am writing to you for a purpose. Please let me know if you are still in town, as I am not. Please write to me to let me know that you are well, the address still valid, and with time to do a favor for a friend.

He sealed the envelope and looked out of the window of the hotel room of a New York, 21st century window and thought the only time he had been colder was when he was in the south, where the humidity made the chill shoot straight into the bones.

The letter came at the best of times, the worst of times. The times when he was a constant on her mind and the rest was just apparitions of what once was and all she had hoped for.

She read with a sweet smile upoon her lips, sapphire eyes drifting over the words as she pushed the canary yellow strands out of her face. In desparate need of a trim, the sharp strands of hair had become long and her bangs covered her eyes in a deceitful game of peek a boo.

The jewelers instruments were pushed to the sides of her work station and a light snapped on as she sat down to right. Her penmanship was beauty redefined the paper....simple.

Thus was the way of the Concrete Canary.

My Dearest Blue,

It is so good to hear from you. Things here have been a struggle....I haven't been myself and I finally found a way to get back on my feet.

Devon is gone. No note. No reason.

Everything was fine with us. Better then fine. I worry over him.

Stas and AJ reassure me that I didn't make him up, that he does exist....but I don't know.

I cannot wait to see you. I miss you so. All my love ever and always to my best friend. Be well Jacob.

Forever, Your Canary.

P.S. You should know that you do not need to ask, just let me know what you need and I will do it for you

The letter was sealed and signed to that new address. Moments later she would be dressed and ready to head out for the day. The letter mailed. Sometimes it was that much harder to move on when your friends were so far away...
