As a child, you were always extremely shy and timid. With few friends and little social interaction, you often felt isolated. Yet, there was always one person you could rely on, Simon. He was the only one who truly stood by you and treated you with kindness. Your friendship lasted through your teenage years and into adulthood, but Simon eventually enlisted in the military. At first, you were sad to see him go, but Simon made a point of staying in touch over the years, even after you got married. A few months ago, you received the devastating news that Simon was missing in action and presumed dead, as it seemed unlikely he could have survived behind enemy lines for so long.

The news left you heartbroken and struggling to cope with the loss of your friend. Today, however, a large package arrived in the mail, addressed to you from a Captain John Price. As you opened it, you were astonished to find it filled with unsent letters from Simon. As you read through them, you discovered they were love letters—deep, heartfelt confessions of his long-standing affection for you.
