Dear T,

Your emphatically stating, "You're definitely not boring" means more to me than you may ever know. Especially considering, as you said, how much time you spend talking to me each week. So, thank you for that.

And I already put in my calendar to return your book (I just need to remember to read that chapter over the weekend! Though it's not like you asked for it back Monday, just to return it eventually.) Means a lot, too, that you trust me enough to lend me a book, when you said you've stopped letting clients borrow them. Even after I warned you that I'm terrible about remembering to return them. Then again, this is a trade paperback with a listed price of $15 on the back (not sure when you got it), so not like I'm borrowing an original, rare edition of something.

My fear of somehow losing it did inspire an idea for a short story, so maybe I should try writing that over the weekend.

Love,
LT
