[ mar 2010 ] Letters to my Sister - Six
Dear Miranda
Thank you for your email informing me you slept with my boyfriend. Apologies for not replying earlier; I have been rather tied up at work. I cannot imagine why you think I would be surprised, as I would have had to have been both blind and deaf not to notice that you were throwing yourself at him like a lemming off a cliff, or perhaps - considering your looks and Chris's personality - a rat throwing itself at a cat would be a more appropriate metaphor.

I don't know quite how to tell you this - but Chris has vanished. Under most peculiar circumstances. As I'm sure you are aware, it is not at all unusual for Chris to vanish; but on this occasion -
Well. I shall begin at the beginning.
Chris had come up to stay with me for an indefinite length of time, as I mentioned in my last letter – a few things he said made me wonder if there was something he was trying to get away from London for some reason.

How are you? I haven't heard from you for a little while. Do be sure and write. I want to know everyone is well. This lack of communication is starting to be unnerving. Until you can't use email, Facebook, mobiles, you don't realise how much people stay in touch.
Anyway. In my news, Chris arrived yesterday. He had previously stated his intention to drive; in fact he arrived on the bus, having lost his licence, and impertinently knocked on the reception desk at Ridgeway asking for me.
