geeky_agentIt took a while for Chris to write him again. Work kept her busy and she kept hoping she'd get back to the bar, Jack's letter giving her renewed hope even though months had passed since she'd last been to Milliways.
Work wasn't really the reason it had taken her over three weeks to respond, she knew that. She'd spent a lot of that time wondering how much she should say about her relationship with James, about the episode she saw and what had been happening in her life before the breakup.
Chris wrote a few different versions of the same letter, deciding that she could choose at the last moment which one she wanted to send.
With the three letters laid side-by-side on her coffee table, she knows there's no real choice. There was only so much she was comfortable with saying at the moment even if it does make her feel a little anxious not to get everything out in the open.

Dear Jack,
I'm so glad you wrote. I think I know why Bar isn't taking your letters - I've been stuck outside for almost four months. I'm not sure when I'll get back there, I keep looking for the door but I have a feeling I'm going to be stuck outside for a while.
It's frustrating, I've spent all that time in the bar and now that I want to see you, I can't get back there. Of course, by the time you read this, I might be back in the bar. Who knows?
In your letter you mentioned you and Silvia were caught up in some kind of excitement. What does that mean? Did something happen? Was it in our world or hers?
About Angie - Behrooz told me that she ran off to medieval Wales with her boyfriend. I hope she's back by the time you receive this letter - how long has she been gone? Do Chase and Kim know that's she gone?
The most frustrating part about being stuck out here is wondering what I'm missing out on there. Have you spoken to either my dad or Elaine recently? I'm a little worried about them, Elaine especially. I spoke to her before I left and it sounds like David might be going home soon. I'd like to be back in the bar if that happens but maybe it already has, I don't know.
Since I don't know when I'll see you again, I should tell you that I'm sorry about how I was acting those last few weeks before the breakup. I know I was pushing you away, which was hypocritical on my part. There was a lot going on then, not just between us but with my family and back home. We should probably talk more about that but I want to do that in-person. But, I know I didn't handle things well and I'm sorry for that.
Love,
Chris
She folds it into an envelope and quickly writes Jack Bau-- before she remembers that she's not supposed to be using that name. Crumpling up the envelope, she tosses it into the trash and grabs another, this time addressing it to "Frank Flynn".
For a moment, she wonders if she should give it another day. Communicating through the mail made her a little apprehensive...it would be so easy for someone to intercept the letters and find out about Jack.
That's paranoid. No one would look unless they had a reason to. Their relationship hadn't ever really existed in their world.
She gathers up her bills and heads out the door, feeling of disappointment when it doesn't lead to the bar.
