Something about Johnny and Mel writing love letters to each other while Dillinger is on the run from her 2009 Wish List. :)
The early 1930s was an era hurtling toward the ‘modern’ but still retained the flavor of the Victorian and Edwardian Ages in certain things. Letter-writing was part of that grand tradition, and the language was a little more flowery than we’re accustomed to today, especially between men. However, gentlemen were expected to write graciously, and Mel comes from a gentleman’s background, and Johnny is a natural gentleman. :)
I’ve always wanted to write an epistolary story, and
siriusfanatic gave me my chance! :)
The timeline has been altered to fit this tale, but the dates of important events remain.
( I know you must be surprised to hear from me, but I just couldn’t stop thinking of you. )
