This work has reached the exceptional level

In this fourth letter, the hitherto anonymous admirer pours his heart out, revealing his "deepest sorrows, fears, and longings" based on his prior experience with what he once thought was love, but turned out to be deception by a gold digger who harmed him both financially and emotionally.

He then goes on to explain how Kristin's spontaneous minor act of kindness brought him hope after of years of sad loneliness. He emphatically repeats his declaration of love, and praises Kristin's unconditional willingness to accept him.

Finally, he reveals the connections which made anonymous access to her clipboard possible, reveals his identity, explains that Captain Lewis is his father (who adores her too), and leaves her (presumably on CD) a love song his parents loved, in hope Kristin will love it too.

In centuries past, before the telephone and fast travel, many courtships were successfully conducted through handwritten letters. (I still have the many letters my late wife and I exchanged when we were apart one summer, over a year before we married; and I know you still have letters you and Jackson wrote to each other.) Thus, it is refreshing in our present cynical age to see such a delightfully sincere, old-fashioned courtship conducted through the written word.

Let the doubters have their say, but I like it. Superb, beautifully illustrated with the pink rose, and aptly accompanied by the chosen song.

    You are most welcome, Sal. Yes, in this too-often painful world, more genuine love stories -- both fictional and real -- would be a joy. This one is a delight. -- Mike

Hello Sally. Now that the mystery is over, the admirer is no longer a secret. It seems we shall move to the next milestone in the relationship if there is one. In thinking of the story, it is possible there is not a next milestone. I will keep reading to find out for myself. Z:)

I like this one Sally, such a depth of feeling, (although feelings are merely servants) beautifully and emotively written, by someone who knows what eternal love is, and its completeness. Just love it my friend. Blessings, Roy
Typo : And left me (lightening) fast. Lightning?

What. Sweet letter. How could she possibly resist, especially since she has already expressed her interest in him. It looks like a love made to last. Now if they're both willing to risk it, happiness is a possibility.
A well told story.

Shivers, yes shivers is what you deliver here! Good shivers, heat-touching shivers! How humblest he speaks of his issues and thankfully has opened up about who he is! I cannot wait to see her response! She will be responding? Or is this the finale? And live this song and movie so much!!! xoxo

This love letter seemed so well-done I had to check the heading above to make sure it was fiction. I even kept thinking, 'Huh, this is kind of personal to post on fanstory.' One thing to fix was : left me lightening fast as
I think you mean 'lightning fast.' Otherwise, I keep thinking the character grew whiter and whiter in some new skin treatment. Nice post.

So the secret lover is revealed. I like the reasons he's declared his hesitancy with its real concerns. I am on pins and needles as to Kristin's response. Also like the revealing about his father and his dog. The artwork sets it off so beautifully.
