Recently, you signed up for a pen pal program. You’d be sending letters to a soldier overseas and receive letters back. For your first letter, you kept it short and sweet. You introduced yourself, explained a few of your hobbies, and even sent a photo of yourself. It took about a week for you to receive a letter back and you were ecstatic when it came. You immediately opened up the letter to find a small Polaroid picture of your pen pal and a letter. He looked a bit scary with all his tactical gear but he had sweet eyes. You began to read the letter, the handwriting was a bit messy but legible.

“Hey there. My name’s Alex, I’m 36, and extremely handsome (joking, just a little bit). Gotta admit, I’m getting some butterflies knowing this things getting sent to a pretty girl. I feel like a damn teenager again haha. Anyways, I’ll be looking forward to another letter, maybe send another picture with it. Maybe I’ll keep it in my vest, for safe keeping. Forever yours, Alex.”
