Chapter Text
Mike,
I know my hand writing is not very good, so I am sorry if you can not understand this. I am trying my best to make it look good.
Joyce told me it would be a good idea to send you our new address once we were unpacked, so that we can send letters to each other. I like that idea, so once we finished unpacking I went straight to my new room to write you this letter. She also told me that you should write your own address on the back of the envelope so that it can be sent back if something goes wrong, so that’s what I did.
I do not know what to write in this letter, but Joyce tells me I should just write what ever comes to my mind, so I am going to try.
The drive here was very boring, but interesting too. I watched out the window for most of it, and it was interesting to see some new places that are not Hawkins or Chicago. But it was boring because I knew every time we passed something interesting, it meant I was further away from home you.
Joyce saw that I was still upset when we were driving, so she told me that she was sorry. She told me that she knows how hard it is to be away from someone you love, but that there will always be a next time for us. She said that she will try to help us see each other as much as she can afford, but it will take some time.
Half way happy.
Our new house is bigger than the old one. We all have our own rooms now, so I don’t need to stay in Jonathan’s. It still is not as big as your house though.
Joyce told me that we have to wait for the phone line to be installed in our new house, so I can not call you yet. I do have my Super Com, but Joyce told me that leaving it on all the time would use the batteries very quickly, so we will need to plan when we will talk through that.
I hope we will see each other soon. Maybe if Joyce can keep her promise, this won’t be as hard as we thought it would be.
I love you Mike.
I am so happy we can say that now. There were so many times that I wanted to say that, but I was too nervous to say it. Now I can say it when ever I want and that makes me very happy.
I hope you get this letter soon. I miss you but maybe this will make it easier.
I love you.
Love, El. ♥
