Today I got a letter. Now I know this in itself is not a very amazing thing to happen. Many people receive many letters everyday. That's the reason the postal dept. still functions. What makes it noteworthy, is that this letter is from someone who I met with very briefly.
I met Ash at a military selection camp. We hit it off a little easier when we found out that we came from the same city(and could bitch about the same problems). And besides that, there was little we had in common; except maybe, our mutual appreciation of theatre. Five days we spent doing more or less the same things. At the end, she got through, while I was routed out on physical grounds. We'd exchanged phone numbers, so we kept in touch. Back home, we met up for a play and had the odd shopping session with other girls we'd met at the camp. And somewhere through this, we realised we trusted each other really well.
Then Ash left for the training academy... and something in me told me that this was probably the end of a really neat acquaintance. Well, it seems that little voice was wrong. I'm glad. Really glad.
