Summary
"Therese reached behind her and pulled out a thick sheaf of what appeared to be folded sheets of writing paper, tied in a ribbon. “'These are for you, finally.'”
The letters Therese writes to Carol, between their first meeting and their road trip. Referenced in and follows immediately after my story "The Longest Day, Getting Here." Referenced of course "The Price of Salt," though we get just a few lines from them. Movie timeline/canon, book canon for more details. Events from "Holding Hands" also referenced.
ETA: And if you're wondering if Carol would respond, well, yes, yes she would.

Summary
This posting starts a multiple chapter story of Carol and Therese's lives together after six years. They are still living in New York City in their Madison Avenue apartment. As you can tell by this first chapter, our heroines are still very much in love. I envision a number of interesting twists and turns, plus references to history of the LGBT rights movement as this point in time. I have tried to be accurate with publications as well. The ones cited in this chapter are real.
