Benjamin had been slaving away at his typewriter for the week. He had finally managed to get Carly off of his mind for a few moments each day, and progress was going well. He had finally figured out the plot, and turns for the new book, and was expecting to get a rough draft done within two months.
He had slipped the babydoll under his pillow, it allowed him to smell her scent, every night that he actually made it to the bed to sleep.
When the familar knock on his door, annouced he had a letter, he made his way to the door quickly. He smiled, thanking the postman. He retreated inside to read the penned letter. It brought a smile to his face.
Dearest Carly,
I am pleased to hear that nothing serious resulted from your spontanous trip to see me. I have finally managed to get back into a routine myself.
You will certainly get to read everything first, you are my inspiration for this one. I don't care what Karen thinks, she'll see it when it's done. I hope she realises how valuable you are to her company, I had seriously been considering changing publishers for this book.
So that's where my shirt went, you cheeky thing. I'm glad you aren't purposely tormenting me. Please find included a short excerpt for you, it pertains to a dream I had the other night.
I share your obsession, although I don't find it worrying. It's rather exhilarating to find myself thinking about you constantly.
Dreaming of you,
Benji xo.
He made sure to send off the letter the following day.
