Haven Huntley and the Heat

A missive long thought lost…

Dear Joshua,

How is Costa Rica? You haven’t written to me about your latest adventure. Are the rain forests treating you kindly? I’m sure the howler monkeys think you’re absolutely delightful. Do they think you’re as fun as I once did when you were drunk and dancing underneath a burnt-out lightbulb in that motel room we shared?

City life doesn’t treat me well. I miss the island where I was born. But I saw it only six summers before I was whisked away.

I wish I could have gone on adventures with you.

Instead, I’m stuck here.

Love,

Haven
