One, your typical tourist postcard. The Hollywood sign in bright block letters against a perfect blue sky. On the back the handwriting is sloppy, upside-down, and at an angle, without a signature or a return address. Thereโs a strange pattern across one corner that looks like something purple was spilled on it, the watercolor stain of it streaking that edge, all the way to the last word on both lines.)
Everything is purple here, and I miss you more than even it.
( The second a small white envelope, with unblemished, unmarked, flap back seal. Itโs addressed to Luther Hargreeves, and there is a small neat, normal return address in the corner. Inside it is an equally small card. There is the silhouette of a yellow bird twined with a fancy cursive "B" in the right corner on the front, but the rest is simply pristine, folded white card stock. The handwriting inside, like that of the address on the envelope, is meticulously perfect.)
This is going to sound stupid, and probably weird. I think I sent you something last night, but Iโm not certain. If I did, Iโm sorry. Disregard it please. It was a mistake. If I didnโt, Iโm sorry for writing this for nothing and there's nothing to worry about. Either way, sorry.
