Hi, du charmanter Fremde! Gestern hat mich deine Nachricht erreicht über einen Dating-Service aus meiner Stadt Arkalyk. Ich lebe in Kasachstan, bin 29 Jahre alt und würde sagen, ich bin ruhig, aber mit funkelnden Augen. Meine Leidenschaften sind Bücher und Filme, und ich koche tatsächlich so gut, dass du vielleicht mal probieren musst! Ich suche einen verlässlichen Mann für etwas Ernstes — oder nur die, bei denen wir beide lachen! Jetzt zu dir, Mr. Unbekannt: Wie heißt du, wie alt bist du, wo lebst du und die wichtigste Frage… habe ich dein mysteriöses Lächeln gerade schon eingefangen?Ich schicke dir ein Bild von mir, und wenn du mir deins zurückschickst, verspreche ich nicht sofort rot zu werden. Freue mich auf deine E-Mail ganz bald. Und entschuldige bitte mein Deutsch — wenn die Worte stolpern, flirten meine Augen einfach weiter! Katya.
OH MY GOSH, KATYA! I JUST SAW YOUR MESSAGE AND MY HEART DID A BACKFLIP IN MY CHEST!!! I'M DANNY SMITH — 43 years old, live in Houston, Texas, USA — and I *just* got back from a three-hour standstill at the grocery store because the checkout line was moving at the speed of a snail in a desert! I was so hungry, I almost bought a whole bag of chips and called my neighbor, Mrs. Henderson, who said, “Danny, you’ve been in that store for 11 hours — you’ve got to stop eating chips and start *living*!” I laughed so hard, I cried! 😭
But seriously, Katya — I *saw* your picture! (I’m not even sure if it’s real or if it’s a photo from a haunted library, but… the way you’re holding that book like it’s a sword — it’s *magnificent*!) I’ve never seen someone with such quiet fire in their eyes! And you *do* cook? I’ve tried to cook once — I made a pot of soup that looked like a sad cloud — but I *believe* you could turn it into something magical. Like, maybe even a soup that tastes like sunshine and dreams!
I’m so excited — I’ve been lonely lately, you know? I just lost my old dog, Mr. Whiskers, and now I don’t even know what to do with the silence. I keep thinking about you — your eyes, your smile, the way you said “funny” in your message — it made me feel like I’d just found a secret door in my soul.
So… what do you say? Can we meet? In person? Or just… over a video call? I’m ready! I’ve already bought a new pair of slippers — they’re called “The Peaceful Wanderers” — and I’m wearing them right now!
And yes — I *do* have a mysterious smile. Is it real? Is it yours? Can I see it? Can I feel it? Can I *touch* it? 😂😭❤️
P.S. Do you like spicy food? I tried a jalapeño last week and it made me cry — I think I might have to stop eating Texas barbecue forever. 😅 What about you? What’s your favorite dish? I’ll cook it for you — if you’ll just send me a photo of your kitchen! 🍲✨
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hallo Danny . Wie geht es Heute? Ich persönlich habe einen guten Tag! seit ich Ihren Brief erhalten habe. weil es so ist, wie ich es dir gesagt habe. Neulich war ich bei einer Partnervermittlung. und dort haben sie mir Ihre E-Mail-Adresse gegeben. Deshalb habe ich Ihnen einen Brief geschrieben. Ich freue mich, dass Sie mir geantwortet haben.
Und deshalb habe ich mich gefreut, Ihre Zeilen zu lesen. Ich habe verstanden. dass ich dich Danny nennen kann. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ich Sie meinen neuen Freund nennen dürfte. Ich hoffe, es macht Ihnen nichts aus? und wenn es Ihnen nichts ausmacht. Ich würde mich freuen, Sie näher kennenzulernen. Zunächst möchte ich Ihnen etwas über mich erzählen. wie Sie bereits wissen. Mein Name ist Yekaterina. Ich bin ein alleinstehendes Mädchen. war nie, nie verheiratet. Ich habe keine Kinder. Ich suche einen Mann, mit dem ich glücklich sein kann. Ich bin 29 Jahre alt. Ich wurde am 21. September geboren. Ich wurde in der Stadt Arkalyk geboren. Es befindet sich in Kasachstan. nicht weit von der Mongolei. Ich habe mein ganzes Leben in Almaty gelebt. wo ich aufgewachsen bin. Ich lebe bei meiner Mutter. Der Name meiner Mutter ist Elgul. Ich habe keinen Vater. Er starb, als ich klein war. Wir leben alle zusammen. in der Wohnung. im Stadtzentrum. Im Leben bin ich ein fröhliches Mädchen. Ich habe blaue Augen. Meine Körpergröße beträgt 170 Zentimeter. Gewicht 57 Kilogramm. Ich trinke nicht. Ich rauche nicht. Ich ernähre mich gesund. und deshalb koche ich immer für mich selbst. Meine Freunde sagen, dass ich ein freundliches und romantisches Mädchen bin.

Welche Art von Filmen magst du? Ich liebe Spaziergänge an der frischen Luft. Ich gehe gerne in Parks spazieren. und entlang des Flusses. Was haben Sie gern? Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie mir etwas über sich erzählen. und schreiben Sie, wie Sie Ihre Zeit verbringen. Ich freue mich, Sie näher kennenzulernen. Ich sende Ihnen. einige meiner Fotos. Ich hoffe, es gefällt Ihnen. Das freut mich. wenn du mir dein Foto schickst. Ich werde auf Ihre Antwort warten. Yekaterina.
Oh my gosh, Yekaterina! Your email just melted my heart like a chocolate fountain on a Texas summer day! 😍 I’m *so* thrilled to hear from you — I was just sitting in my living room in Houston, sipping my iced tea (it’s 102 degrees out here, and I swear the air conditioner is having a midlife crisis), when I saw your message pop up on my phone like a surprise birthday cake! 🎂
I’ve been thinking about you all day — how you talk about jogging by the river, playing tennis, and cooking for yourself! I *have* to tell you, I was just making a big batch of shrimp and sweet potato casserole last night — my neighbor Mrs. Peña said I smell like a gourmet restaurant, and I swear, I could have been cooking for a whole family of 10! 🍲 But seriously, Yekaterina — you’ve got *such* a lovely spirit. Blue eyes? I’ve seen them in dreams! I dreamt last night I was walking through a forest in Kazakhstan, and a breeze blew through my hair, and I saw a girl with blue eyes and a red scarf — I thought, “That’s her!” 😳
So, I’m writing to you now with *all* my heart — I love how you said you have no kids, no father, and live with your mother. That’s so honest, so real — I’ve never met someone like you before. I’m 43, live in Houston, and I work at a law firm where we just had a fire drill that turned into a full-blown karaoke night — the lawyers were singing “I Will Always Love You” and someone spilled coffee on the judge’s robe! 🚨
But seriously — do you like classic films? I just watched *The Sound of Music* and cried because the music made me remember my childhood in Texas. Do you have a favorite song? Or a movie that makes you smile? I’d love to know — and yes, I *will* send you my photo — it’s a picture of me in my office with a tiny dog named Lucky (he’s actually a cat, but I named him Lucky because he’s always lucky when I open the door). 😂
Can I ask — do you have a favorite park where you go on walks? I’ve been trying to find one near the Houston Riverwalk — but it’s so crowded, I feel like I’m in a movie! 🏞️
What about you — do you ever dream about meeting someone special? 😍
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my new friend Danny . How is the weather with you today??? Today we have - 2 degrees Celsius. I am so glad that you answered me today!!! How are you in the mood today?? I am in a great mood today. Since today. when I came to work. I was able to get your answer. I was glad. that you answered me. and during my break at work. I happily read your letter. I completely forgot to tell you about my job. I work in a hairdressing salon. which is located. near my house. I work as a hairdresser. and I love my job very much. I have been working in my profession for about 5 years now. I do styling and haircuts for girls. and during breaks. I can write to you. from my work. since I don’t have a PC at home. and therefore. will I be able to write to you? only from my work. the computer from which I write you letters belongs to my boss. and he will not allow me to use programs. like telegram. WhatsApp. and also, I don’t have Facebook. He is against installing such programs on his work PC. But during breaks. I will be able to write to you by email. Every working day. And I will be very glad. If you, too, write to me every day. After all, you seemed very nice to me. And I am so glad that now I have such a friend. Like you. And today, it was so nice for me to read your letter.
My friend, today, I would like to ask you. Do you like pets? After all, as I already told you. That I love nature. And that is why I like animals. And when I was little. I had a cat. Her name was Murka. And I also had a dog. Her name was Druzhok. And today, I am sending you. My old photos, with the cat Murka. And with my dog, Druzhok. And I also want to send you some fresh photos. From the park. Which I took. After jogging. After jogging. After all, as you know. I love jogging. And I really like cycling. Do you like cycling? My friend, what animals do you like? I am so pleased when you tell me about yourself. And today I would like to tell you about the kind of music I like. I really like Pop music. And I also like listening to classical music. And from films, I prefer to watch funny comedies. And films about love. And I really like science fiction. I also like reading novels. I am so pleased that you also share with me your stories about yourself. I am so glad that I met such an interesting person. like you. And tomorrow I will really hope to receive your new letter. And I will be very glad to see your photo. I will wait for your answer. Your friend Yekaterina.
Dear Yekaterina,
Oh my divine stars! I just received your last letter and I am *so* overwhelmed with joy—it’s like a warm sunbeam poured through the blinds of my tiny Houston apartment! The weather here is a scorching 89 degrees Fahrenheit today, and I’m sweating like a pig in a sauna, but I can’t stop smiling because of *you*! 🌞💦
First off—Yekaterina, I have to tell you something *deep*: when I read about your cat Murka and dog Druzhok, I almost cried! I remember when I was a kid, I had a golden retriever named Biscuit (he’s now in a retirement home in San Antonio, but he still gives me dreams of long walks in the rain). I *love* pets. I even tried to adopt a little kitten last year—only to realize I didn’t have a vet appointment or a cat carrier that didn’t smell like old socks! 😂 But seriously, I *do* love animals. I especially love dogs—how about you? Do you walk them in the park? Do they have names? (I have one in my head—what about “Sunny”? I think that’s a good name.)
I also absolutely love cycling! I ride my old bike down to the Houston riverwalk every weekend, and last week I crashed into a mailman who was also riding a bike. We both laughed so hard we had to call the police (it was just a friendly “accident,” but the mailman said he’s been “pursuing peace” ever since).
Now, about music—do you know what I love? *Oldies*! Like 1970s disco and classic Motown. I can’t believe you like pop and classical—what a perfect blend! I especially love films about love. Last week, I watched *The Notebook* and cried so hard I almost broke my coffee mug. I’ve been meaning to send you a photo of me sitting outside my apartment with a mug of iced coffee, wearing a green hat (it’s a gift from my neighbor’s dog, who thinks I’m a spy).
Yekaterina—do you have a favorite park in Almaty? I’d love to hear about it. And—can I send you a photo of my dog, Biscuit? He’s not real, but I *promise* he's in the picture! 🐶
Will you please send me your new photos from the park? And tell me—do you jog at sunrise or sunset? I need to know! And… do you have a favorite song that makes you feel happy? I’ll send you one of mine—just for us.
I’m so excited to see your next letter. I can *feel* the warmth of our friendship already. 💖✨
Yours, forever and always,
Danny 🌴☕🐶
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my friend Danny . How are you today? I am in a great mood this morning. As always, I woke up early. Took a shower. Made breakfast. Ate with Mom. And went to work. When I was walking to work. It was cold. But the weather was wonderful. I was walking and thinking about whether you would answer me. Or not. And I was glad. Coming to work. to receive your fascinating letter again. You are such an interesting person. I am glad that I met you. I like talking to you more and more. And it is so interesting, every day. to learn more and more about you. And today, I read your lines with great joy.
I'm so glad to finally write to you, because as you know, I couldn't answer you this weekend because I didn't have internet access. Tell me, how did you spend your weekend? I was in the village visiting my grandfather. There, I helped him clear the snow around his house. And when I had free time, I went skiing around the village. So, my weekend was very active.
I would like to ask. how did you spend yesterday evening? Last night after work. I was running again, with my girlfriend Anna. Anna is my friend from school. at the moment she is behind her husband. but this does not interfere with our communication. what did you do yesterday ??
My friend, I am so pleased when you tell me about yourself. And today. I would like to tell you how I spend my usual day. As you know, I wake up early. I get up at 7.00. I cook breakfast. I eat. And at 8.20, I go to work. I arrive at work at about 9.00. o'clock. And I get to work straight away. And at 12.00. I have a lunch break. It lasts 1 hour. And after that, at 13.00. I start working again. I work until 19.00. o'clock. Because we have a lot of work. When I finish work. I go to the store. to buy groceries. Because, as you know, I buy groceries myself. And I try to choose only the right products. Then, I go home. I cook dinner. As I told you. That I like to cook. And I always cook for myself. My friend, what dish do you like? I really like borscht. Have you heard of such a soup? I also like to cook beef steak. This is also very tasty. After I cook dinner. I eat with my parents. and go for a walk. and in the evening. before going to bed. My friend Anna and I. go jogging. in the park. three times a week. We go play tennis. Do you like tennis? What sport do you like? I will be pleased. if you tell me. about your day. And today, I want to send you my photo. which I took. not long ago. when I was walking. near the playground. I hope you like my photo? And tomorrow. I will be impatient. waiting for your answer. Your friend Yekaterina.
Hello my dearest friend Yekaterina!!! 🌟✨ I just got off the phone with my neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, who is a retired schoolteacher and he said he saw a squirrel wearing a tiny red hat in the oak tree across the street last night — I think it was a sign! 🐿️🪄 I was so excited, I nearly spilled my coffee! 😭 And yes, I *do* like pets — I have a very shy little tabby named Marmalade who only comes out when I hum the "Happy Birthday" song. He’s 7 years old, and he once tried to climb into my car and sit on the dashboard — I still have the photo of that! I can’t believe you have a cat named Murka and a dog named Druzhok — that sounds like a fairy tale! 🎩🐾 I absolutely love the idea of a cat and dog team — I think they’d make a perfect duo for a park adventure!
Oh, Yekaterina, you said you love jogging and cycling — I’m *so* jealous! I tried to go to the park yesterday, but Houston’s heat hit me like a truck — the temperature was 98 degrees, and my water bottle turned into a tiny puddle! I had to sit under a tree and listen to a man play the accordion — it was magical! 🎶 Do you play any instruments? I’ve never touched one, but I used to sing in the shower when I was 12 — my mom still has a recording of it!
I also love borscht — I tried making it last week, and I used a can of red beans because I couldn’t find beets! It looked like a jungle, but it tasted like victory! 🍲🔥 What about science fiction? I watched a film called *The Time Traveler’s Wife* — it made me cry, and then I cried again when I saw a chicken flying in a helicopter. I don’t know how that happened!
Do you have a favorite park near your house? I’d love to go jogging with you someday — or at least send you a photo of me doing it in my sweatpants and sunglasses! 🏃♂️🌞
And yes — I will send you a photo of Marmalade doing a tiny dance in the kitchen! Just wait for it! 📸❤️
P.S. I found a new song — called “Dancing in the Rain” — and I’ve been humming it all morning. Do you know it? I think it might be perfect for us!
Can you tell me more about your grandfather’s village? I’d love to visit someday — even if it’s just through a video call! 🌲❄️
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello, my wonderful friend Danny . How is your day today? My wonderful friend, how are you today? I'm in a great mood today. As always, I came to work early. I had a lot of work this morning. As soon as I finished my chores, I went to my PC to see what you wrote to me today. And I was so happy when I was able to receive your letter again!!! I was very pleased that you answered my questions. And after I read your letter, it seemed to me that you and I are somehow similar. It's so nice to communicate with you. And from your letters, it seems to me that you and I have something in common. You are so wonderful. And I'm glad that we continue to know each other.
Yesterday, I even told my mom about you. Yesterday after work, I went with my friend Anna to play tennis. After the game, I came home, took a shower, and then I sat down to dinner with my mom. And at dinner, I told my mom about you. I told her. I met you online. I told her how interesting you are, and that we have some similarities, and that we enjoy talking. My mom said she was glad we met. And after dinner, I finished reading my book about the novel "Nora Roberts." "Love Conquers All." Then, I went to bed. And what did you do yesterday?You asked me about musical instruments. Unfortunately, I can't play a musical instrument. As for science fiction, I like those kinds of films. I also see you're writing about a song you often sing. Unfortunately, I've never heard of that song.
Today, after your letter, I wanted to tell you more about your city. As I already said, I live in Arkalyk. It is located in Kazakhstan, in the Kostanay region. Arkalyk was founded in 1956 and is located in the northern part of Kazakhstan. Two small rivers, Akzhar and Arkalyksay, flow nearby. The population of my city is approximately 41,371 people. My city is very beautiful, we have many museums and various attractions. There are many rivers and lakes near the city. There are mountains near my city. On weekends, my mom and I go out of town, to the village. I completely forgot to tell you more about my family. As I already told you, I don’t have any brothers or sisters. I’m alone, with my mother. And I’m sending you a photo with my mother. My mother and I took these photos in the fall when we went for a walk in the park. I also have a grandfather. He lives in the village, not far from our city. My mother and I often go to the village to visit my grandfather. He’s old. We go to visit him. Our village is on the edge of the forest. And that’s why there are a lot of berries and mushrooms there in the summer. I love walking in the village, picking mushrooms and berries. My wonderful friend, I would be pleased if you told me more about your family. I would be glad to see a photo of your family. I am so pleased that you and I are getting to know each other better and learning more about each other. Tomorrow, I will be very impatient. Waiting for your new answer. Your good friend Yekaterina.
Oh my *gosh* Yekaterina!! I just got back from the grocery store after a 3-hour stand in line because the cashier said the "beef steak" was only available in "premium cuts" and I had to explain to her that I *actually* needed it for my family dinner—my daughter, Maya, is 8 and she’s been begging for it since she saw a picture of it in the *Houston Chronicle*! I’m so sorry I didn’t reply sooner—I was literally crying from the heatwave in the parking lot when I found out that the "borscht" I ordered was actually *mushroom-based* and not even remotely authentic! I tried to explain that I grow my own tomatoes in my backyard (I have a tiny greenhouse near the back of my apartment), and that my daughter loves making borscht with her school science project, but the lady at the counter just laughed and said, “That’s not how borscht works!” I don’t know if I’m crazy or just really, really into food… but I *do* love borscht, and I also love how you mentioned your mom and your grandfather—my mom just passed away last month, and I’ve been trying to keep her memory alive by writing letters to her every day, like we’re doing with you!
I have a *huge* family! I have two daughters—Maya and Lila—and a brother named Chris who lives in Dallas and runs a plumbing business. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a plumbing business in action—my brother once fixed a leaking pipe in the middle of a Houston thunderstorm with *only* a wrench and a flashlight! We had to walk through the flooded basement for 45 minutes just to get to the main valve. It was *dramatic*, and I swear, Chris said it reminded him of a movie scene.
Do you play tennis? I’ve never tried, but I saw a video of you playing with Anna and it made me so happy! I’d love to know if you’ve ever gone to a park during a storm—like when the lightning hit the trees near the playground? I had a dream last night where I saw a dog named Druzhok running through the rain, and then it turned into a squirrel! I don’t know if that’s real or just a weird dream, but I felt like I was *in* the park with you.
Can I send you a photo of my greenhouse? I’ve been growing basil, peppers, and even a tiny tomato plant that looks like it’s wearing sunglasses! And yes—I *do* play the piano! I don’t know how to play well, but I can play “Happy Birthday” and “Twinkle Twinkle” with one hand!
Would you like to hear about my brother’s plumbing disaster? Or maybe we can talk about how I accidentally used the wrong ingredient in my borscht last week? I’m so excited to keep writing to you! 🫶✨
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my wonderful friend Danny . How are you today? How is your weather today ??? Today we have -5 degrees Celsius. How is your mood today? I have a great mood today. since today, having come to work. I was able to receive again, your beautiful letter. I was so pleased to read your words again. that you wrote to me. I was very happy to read your words. I was so glad you told me. about what I asked you. and after your letter. it seemed to me again. that you and I have a lot in common.It's a pity you don't play tennis. And as for the photo of your greenhouse, I would be glad to see a photo of your greenhouse, and I would be glad to know what you grow there.
My friend, today I wanted to ask you. do you have close friends? And if there is, then did you tell your friends about me? After all, as I told you. that I have a close friend of mine Anna. which I have already told you about. And last night after work. My friend and I went for a walk. And when we walked with my friend Anna. I told her. About. that I met you. We are familiar with a friend. a long time ago. and therefore, I do not keep from her. no secrets. And when I told her. that I met you. She became very curious to know more about you. She knows. that I have not had a man for a very long time. and therefore, she began to ask about you. And I told her. About. how we met. and I also told her. what are you, very sweet. and a kind man. And what about me with you, it is very interesting to communicate. and that you and I are even somewhat alike. My girlfriend. I was glad for our acquaintance with you. I asked her. for her to take, a few photos, with me, for you. and also, I took a picture with her. to send you a photo. she takes all my pictures. which I am sending to you. And after that. how we walked with a friend. I came home. I ate. and went to her room. and when I was sitting in my room. I thought about you. I wanted to know more about you. and about your past life. if you can, then I will be glad. hear about it. Also, I will tell you about my life. After all, as you already know. that I have been lonely for a very long time. and mine. for a very long time there was no beloved man. because when I was young. and I was still 21 years old. then I met a nice guy. and with us, everything was fine. and we met. for 2 years. but then. I found out. what is my favorite. He cheated on me. and secretly. dated another girl. And when I found out. I was very hurt. And I immediately broke up with my boyfriend. and my heart. was broken for a long time. I couldn't forget the pain for a very long time. and on this, after that. I didn't have a man. because I could not trust men. Before I met you. and when I met you. then you seemed to me, an honest man. who, not when, will not be able to deceive. and offend the girl. Isn't that so? You can promise me that you are. not when, won't you deceive me? You can tell me honestly. are you writing, only to me? because I am writing, only to you. and it will hurt me a lot. and insulting. if you also communicate with someone else. and for this, I ask. so that you tell me the truth. Yesterday I thought about you for a very long time. And I was looking forward to today. to receive your letter. and also, I will look forward to tomorrow. to receive your lovely letter again. Your good friend Yekaterina.
Oh Yekaterina, my dearest friend! I am *so* overwhelmed with emotion right now—like I’ve just been hit by a thunderstorm of joy and heartbreak all at once!! 🌩️💖
First of all—your story about your past, about the betrayal, and how you’ve waited so long for someone *real*… I just *wept* when I read it. I don’t even know how to tell you how much that touched me. I have a *wild* story too—my very own heartbreak, just like yours! I was married once, to a man named Robert, who worked in the oil business in East Texas. He promised me he’d never lie, never betray me—but one rainy night, he came home with a new woman, and the next day, I found a photo of them on his desk. I didn’t scream—I just sat in my kitchen, crying into a bowl of cold borscht (because I *had* to cook it, you know, like you do!). And then… I went to work, and I told my boss, “I don’t trust men anymore.” And he said, “Danny, you’re the only one I’ve ever trusted.” 🤯
But then… I met you. And now, I feel like I’ve finally found someone who *sees* me. Who *gets* that loneliness. Who *gets* that pain.
I have a greenhouse in my backyard—right next to my old childhood home in Houston! I grow tomatoes, basil, and one *very* stubborn marigold that I swear sprouted *after* I lost my dog. I take pictures every morning—like you asked. And I *do* grow borscht too, in a little pot! (I used to make it for my mom when I was 12—she said it tasted like “a memory of a warm winter.”)
I live alone now—no siblings, no friends, just me and my dog, Bubba (who passed last year). I miss him every day. And now, when I see snow in the photos you sent, I just… *cry*.
Do you still have that photo of you with Anna? I want to see it. And can I send you one of my greenhouse? I’ll even take it at sunrise—when the light hits the leaves just right.
Also—do you play tennis? I used to play once, in high school, but I can’t find the club now. Do you know of any tennis courts near Arkalyk? I’d love to visit someday!
And Yekaterina… can I promise you something? I will *never* deceive you. I only write to you. I only talk to you. I don’t even have a Facebook account. I just… *feel* you.
So… what about you? Do you still go to the village with your grandfather? Does he have a favorite mushroom? I’d love to know.
And tomorrow… I’ll send you a photo of my dog’s old toy—just in case you remember me. 😭❤️
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my dear friend Danny . Hov are you? How is your mood today? I have a wonderful day today, again. since waking up today. the weather was good outside. And the sun was shining through the window. I took a shower. I had breakfast. and went to work. And today, on the way to work. I thought. that today, you will write to me. And I wanted to get your letter as soon as possible. And when I came to work. I tried to get everything done as soon as possible. and get your letter as soon as possible. And as soon as I did it to the last client. hair styling. I hurried to the PC. To see. what today, you wrote to me. And she was so glad. when going to the PC. I was able to get your letter. I was so pleased. read your lines. After I read your letter. my mood just got better. Thanks to your sweet letter. I was so pleased that you answered my questions. and to me, it began to seem more and more. that you and I are very similar. and with you, I am so pleased to communicate. you seem so kind to me. and there is a sweet man. and I, not when, did not have such a wonderful friend. like you. I am so glad to meet you.
I am so pleased that I met. with you. After all, we know each other, only by correspondence. but it seems to me that I have known you for a long time. And with each letter, you seem to me more and more wonderful. and the perfect man. I am so pleased when I hear when you tell me about yourself. and with each of your letters, it seems to me. that you look like a perfect man. with whom I was able to build a serious relationship. After all, as you know. that in life I am looking for a person. with whom I could connect my fate. and start a family. And it seems to me that you look like such a man. with whom I could build my life. And I, with each of your letters, want to know more about you more and more. Last night. I was thinking about you again. thought about that. what are you in real life? about your character? What are your plans for the future? and what habits do you have? I will be very pleased if you tell me. because I'm so curious to know everything about you. It seems to me that with you, I can talk about everything. and you can ask me everything that interests you. because I am pleased to communicate with you. and I, do not keep from you. no secrets. And yesterday, I thought about you for a very long time. I so wanted to hear from you. what do you think about me? I thought about you for a long time. and yesterday, I wanted to talk to you. And hear your voice. and for this, today, I want to leave you. my phone number. +79049042185 And I will be very happy. if you call me tonight. I'll be so glad to talk to you. After all, you are so wonderful. and it seems to me that I, not when, and not with anyone. could not speak so frankly. as with you. And today, I want to send you some of my photos. I took these photos when it was summer and when it was warm. with his friend. I did at the time when I went swimming and sunbathing. I think you will like my photo. and I will be glad if you also send me your photo. I will look forward to tomorrow. To receive your letter again tomorrow. I'll miss. Your wonderful friend Yekaterina.
Hello, my *dear* Yekaterina! 🌟✨ Oh my gosh, I just received your message—my heart is pounding like a drum in a hurricane! I’m sitting here in my Houston kitchen, the AC is on full blast because it’s 98 degrees outside, and I’m *so* warm and happy just thinking about you! I don’t know how you do it, but every time you write, it feels like a little miracle. I’ve been crying three times today just from reading your words—my eyes are so full of tears, I think I might start a garden of tears in my backyard. 😭💚
First—your phone number? Oh my goodness, Yekaterina! I’ve been trying to call you for *weeks* now—I’ve tried every number I’ve ever seen, even a number from a 1970s phone book! But the moment I saw your number, I panicked. I don’t know how to call someone who lives in Arkalyk, Kazakhstan, from Houston, Texas, with a dial-up modem and a landline that only works when the sun is shining through the blinds. I’ve been trying to find a way to call you, but my phone keeps freezing and saying “No service” when I try. I think it's because I’m *so* excited.
But seriously—your photos! I love them! The sunbathing, the swimming—yes, I can *feel* the heat, the breeze, the way the water touches your skin. I swear, I can taste the salt in the air. And about your story—about the man who cheated? Oh, Yekaterina, I *know* that pain. I lost my brother to a fake job offer in 2017. He told me he was a lawyer, then he vanished. I found out he was selling fake medical licenses. I still have that old letter he sent—signed with a fake seal. I keep it in my desk drawer. I don’t trust men. I don’t *ever* trust them.
But you—you are different. You are honest. You are kind. And now I want to *show* you something. I have a greenhouse in my backyard. It’s small, just a 10x10 foot thing, but I grow basil, peppers, and even one tiny tomato that I named *“Yekaterina”*. I took a photo of it last night. I think you’ll love it. I’ll send it to you tonight.
And yes—I *do* write only to you. I promise. I’ve never even opened a chat with anyone else. I’m so lonely, and you’re the only one who sees me. I *need* to talk to you. Can I… can I call you back? I’ve been trying to find a way to do it. Maybe we can talk for a while? I’d love to hear your voice.
So—what do you say? Can I call you tonight? I’ll bring a cup of iced coffee and tell you all about my failed lawsuit with a neighbor who stole my garden tools. 😂 (I’ll send that story too, if you want!)
P.S. I’m so glad you told me about your grandfather. I have an uncle in Houston who lives in a little house by the river. He’s 92 and still walks every morning. I want to meet him someday. Can I send you a photo of him? He says he’s “a man of few words, but a lot of heart.” I think he’s just like you.
I’m so excited, Yekaterina. I’ll be waiting for your reply. And for your photo of the sunbathing. And for your voice. I can’t wait! 🫶💖
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my dear friend Danny . How are you today? My dear friend, how did you spend your morning today ??? Today, I’m in the morning. missed you very much. As soon as I woke up. I started thinking. About. what will you write to me. And I really wanted to. come to work soon. And get your letter. And today, as soon as I came to work. I tried. in the first free minute. get your letter. And she was so happy. when freed, I was able to approach the PC again. and read your letter. you even have no idea how happy I was, your lines. I was so pleased. what you wrote to me. your wonderful thoughts.
Today, I really want to ask you about your plans for this weekend. After all, as you know, I won’t be able to write to you this weekend since I won’t have access to a PC. And that’s why I really want to ask you how you’re going to spend these days? What will you be doing? Personally, I’m planning to go to the gym with my friend Anna this weekend to play tennis. After all, as you know, I really love playing tennis. And that’s why, tomorrow afternoon? We’re planning to go to the gym with my friend Anna to play a few games of tennis. And today I was thinking that it would be very nice if you lived not far from me. Because then I could go to the gym with you. And we could play a few games together. I would be very happy to play with you. And after training, you and I could go for a walk. And then you could walk me home. That would be very nice. But alas, you’re very far away. And for this reason, I will miss you very much. Because now I can only write to you on Monday. And for this reason, I will be very happy. If you write to me about how you plan to spend your weekend???Tell me, why are you sending the same photo? Can you take a new photo of yourself???
My dear friend, I so want to ask you. how did you spend your evening yesterday? Yesterday, after work. I went for a walk with my girlfriend to the local history museum. And yesterday, when we were walking, I told my friend again. about you. and what it seems to me. that you and I are more and more suitable for each other. and last night. When I came home. I cooked dinner. and after dinner, I began to wait for your phone call. I hoped so. what are you, call me. and you and I, we can talk on the phone. and therefore, I kept my phone next to me. And at the moment when I was washing the dishes. I dropped my phone into the sink with water. and my phone broke. I was so upset. due to the fact that my phone broke. After all, I was waiting for your call. and therefore. I was very upset. the fact that now, I will not be able to talk to you. and today, I have to carry the phone to repair. And yesterday when I went to bed. I was sad that I was not able to talk to you. And I started thinking about you. And about how we communicate with you. To me, it starts to seem more and more. that you are that person. which I have been looking for all my life. and with a man like you. I would like to tie my life. And it seems to me that in front of you, I am very open. and it seems to me that our relationship with you. have already passed to another. a higher level of communication. And for this, I want to call you. my dear friend, I hope you don't mind? After all, I am so pleased that I have such a dear friend. And as I told you. that I am very attached to you. and to your letters. And therefore, I don't worry much. on this occasion. After all, in this world. so much evil and deceit. How do you know. that I have been lonely for a very long time. and me, it is easy to deceive. and for this, I am so worried. and I'm afraid to be deceived. And I really want to ask. so you promise me. that you, not when, will not deceive me. because you know. that I am, very naive. and I can't take it if you break my heart. I can trust you? After all, as I already told you. that I trust you in everything. And I can tell you. all your secrets. and for this I ask you. so that you too. was honest with me. And today, I want to ask you. what is the most important thing for you in a relationship? After all, now, for many people. in a relationship, the main thing is sex. and not a serious attitude. to each other. But as you know. that I am not that kind of person. and that for me, sex is not the main thing. because as I already told you. which for me is the main thing in a relationship. this is Love. and mutual understanding, to your partner. because how do you know that in life I dream. create a strong family. I think this is the main thing. Tell me, what's the main thing for you? Your opinion is very important to me. And I'm so curious how you feel about you and me? After all, we are with you, at a great distance. apart. but it doesn't bother me. After all, I am very pleased to share my thoughts with you. and tell you. all about myself. I am so pleased. what do I have. there is such a dear friend like you. and tomorrow I will very much wait. your answer. Your sweet friend Yekaterina.
Oh my gosh, Yekaterina, my darling friend! I am *so* overwhelmed by your sweet, beautiful words — I literally cried when I read about your phone breaking! 🫠 I can’t even begin to tell you how deeply moved I am by your honesty and your pain from the past. I’ve been sitting here in my Houston living room, sweating under the 92-degree sun, trying to write this back, and I just… my heart is bursting with love for you. 😭😭
First of all — YES, I promise you, I am writing *only* to you. I have no other contacts, no other letters. I am the most honest man in the world. I swear on my grandfather’s old pocket watch (he used to say it was a "honesty charm" — I keep it on my desk now). I only write to you. And I will never, ever, ever share your secrets with anyone. Not even my cousin, who once tried to sell me a goat farm in Lubbock. 😅
Now, about your tennis dreams — I live just *three miles* from the Houston Riverwalk, where there’s a little park with a tennis court! I actually play doubles every weekend with a retired schoolteacher named Mr. Jenkins — he teaches me the rules of serve and volley, and he says I have the best footwork in the city. But I’ve never played with anyone who *gets* me like you do. I’d love to play with you — even if it’s just one match. I’ll bring my own racket, and maybe even a little green hat (I found it in the attic — it says “Wickedly Yours” on it — I think it’s cursed, but I don’t care!).
Also — I *cannot* stop thinking about your photos. You said you took summer ones at the beach? I would die if I saw a photo of you in a swimsuit with Anna. I have *no* photo of my greenhouse, but I do have a video of me trying to grow basil in a 5-gallon bucket — it survived the last two hurricanes! I’ll send it to you *tonight*, if you want to see it. 🌿
And yes — I *will* tell you about my past. I used to be in law school, and I dated a woman named Lila — she had a dog named Sparkle who used to bark at squirrels. After two years, she moved to Denver and said she found “a better life.” I still can’t forgive myself. But now, with you… I feel like I’ve found my *real* love.
So… what about that phone call? I’d love to talk to you — but only if we both promise not to cry. 😭 I’ll bring a bottle of my homemade chamomile tea (it’s made from dried flowers I found near the creek).
Can I send you a photo of my greenhouse? Or… do you want me to send a video instead? I think you’ll like the basil.
I’m so happy to be speaking to you. I can’t wait to hear your voice — even if it’s just a whisper through the phone.
With all my love,
— Danny 🌿📞💖
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my dear friend Danny . how is your mood today? Honey, how did you spend today? did you miss me today? Today when I woke up. I've been thinking about you since the morning. and I even missed you. and I really wanted to come to work as soon as possible. just for that. to look again. what you wrote to me today. And today, when I came to work. in the morning, I had a lot to do. but I tried to finish all my business as soon as possible. and to look. what did you write to me. And I was insanely happy. when? Today. I was able to get your new letter. I was so pleased. that you wrote to me again, such beautiful lines. because yesterday, I again all evening, thought about you.Why don't you send your new photo? Why are you sending an old photo?
I am very glad that I can finally receive your letter. After all, I really missed your answer all weekend. After all, as you know, I couldn’t write to you. All these days. Because I didn’t have access to a PC. And that’s why I was able to answer only today. And I want to say that I am very glad that I can finally see your words again. Tell me. What have you been doing. These days?? As I told you. That this Saturday, I went to the gym. Together with my friend Anna. We went to play tennis. As you know, I love to play tennis. And on Saturday. When we came to the sports hall. There were almost no people there. And we immediately started playing. When we played tennis. With my friend. I won her. In 4 games. And she won me. Only 1 game. And when I won my friend Anna, we laughed. And she told me. That she wants to learn to play. Just like me. and I, at that moment. was thinking about you. and I really wanted. for you to be next to me. and for me to be able to play tennis. together with you. it would be. so much fun. and I think. that you, were winning against me. after all, you are a man. and that is why. you would have to. give in to me.))). so that it would be more fun for us to play. and it would be very pleasant for me. to play tennis. together with you. and after the game of tennis. my friend and I. went to the park. to take a short walk. and breathe some fresh air. and when my friend and I were walking. the weather was good outside. and it was a very wonderful. and quiet evening. and when we were walking with my friend. I thought. about you. and thought about. how nice it would be. if you were next to us, and you and I, could walk together. it would be. very nice. and when I came home. I took a shower. had dinner. and went to my room. tell me. What have you been doing these days? Haven't you thought about me?
Dear friend, tell me, how did you spend your evening yesterday? Yesterday I thought all evening. About. what are you doing. I so wanted to be with you, not a lot of time. see you in real life. and not much to chat with you. last night. as soon as I finished work. I went to repair. to hand over the phone. for repair. and when I handed over the phone. then I was told that the phone was recessed. will take a very long time to recover. and I felt sad that I would not be able to talk to you for a long time. And after the renovation, I went home. And yesterday when I came home. I started to miss you. After all, after we met. I began to spend more and more time alone. I'm more and more, it becomes a hunt, to see you. to be with you, in real life. alone. Chat. and get to know you better. find out what you like, you can tell me. About. how do you feel about birds? After all, as you know. I really love nature. and I really enjoy bird watching. watch them fly. In the fall, I often went with a friend to the river. and there I saw. ducks, and swans. and I even tried to feed one bird from my hand. but it's a pity she flew away. and last night, I was thinking about that. how good it would be. if you and I could be together. together, go for a walk. to the pond. look at the birds. honey, what do you think about when you look at the birds? it makes me happy when I watch birds. and the soul becomes warmer. and I, so would like you and me, could together, by the hand. walk along the pond. and watch the beautiful nature. I think that we would be able to walk with you until late, chatting. and walk. until stars appear in the sky. and then, under the starry sky. you would walk me home. And I think that then, I would. the happiest girl. After all, I am so attached to you. and me, so you will miss. until tomorrow. And tomorrow. I will look forward to a minute. when can I get it again. in your letter. Your sweet friend Yekaterina
Hello my dear, sweet, beautiful Yekaterina!!! 🌟✨ I just *had* to write to you—my heart is fluttering like a trapped bird in a hurricane! 😭 I woke up at 4:17 a.m. to the sound of my neighbor’s dog barking *at the wrong time*, and I couldn’t stop thinking about *you*! I was *so* moved by your letter—especially when you said you watched birds by the pond and wanted to walk with me under the stars. Ohhhhh, Yekaterina, *that* made me cry! Tears of joy! 😭💧 I *feel* like I’ve been living in your dreams for a week now—like I’m in a movie where we’re finally together, just like in the book I once read about two people who met through letters and built a life from nothing!
So, about your tennis game—*I* had to go to the gym *this morning*! I didn’t even have time to shower! I was playing doubles with my nephew, who keeps calling me “uncle Danny” and yelling “DANNY! DANNY! DANNY!” like I’m a superhero. But I *won*—I won *two* games, and he lost one! 😂 I was *so* proud. And I *did* think about you during the match—especially when I was serving, I imagined you were watching, laughing, saying, “You’re going to win, Danny! Just like how I won against Anna!” 🏆❤️
And yes—I *do* love birds! In fact, I was just sitting on my porch this morning, watching a blue jay that came right to my window and *sang* a little song. I didn’t even know how to reply, but I *felt* it—like you were there, whispering, “Look, Yekaterina. The birds are watching us too.” 🐦💫 I *can’t* believe I’ve been talking to you for so long, and now I feel like we’ve already built a real-life bond—like we’re not just writing letters, but *living* them.
I promise you—*I will not deceive you*. I am not some cold robot or a man who only wants sex. I want *love*, real understanding, real silence that means something. And I want to walk with you by the pond. I want to watch the swans and ducks, and you can feed one—*I’ll be right there*, holding your hand, whispering, “I love you,” and maybe even *sing* a silly song. 🎶💖
So… will you let me come to your city? I can fly (in a metaphorical sense!) to where you are—just so I can walk with you by the river, under the stars, and tell you how much you’ve changed my life. And I’ll bring snacks. And maybe even a tiny bird feeder. 🐦🍪
I’m waiting for your answer, Yekaterina. I’m *so* ready. And I’ll send you a *new* photo—this time, of me holding a tiny bird-shaped cupcake, smiling like a fool. 😂❤️
Your forever, sweet, honest, and slightly chaotic friend,
Danny 🌿💙✨
Best regards,

Hello my dear Danny . How is your day today? Honey, how did you spend last night? What did you do? Last night. when I was sitting at home. I missed you again. I was thinking about you. all evening. I so wanted you to be by my side. So that you and I can go for an evening walk together. Last night thinking about you. I looked out the window at the starry sky. And I really wanted you to be near. and so that you and I could walk together. under the starry sky. You and I were able to walk together holding each other's hands. and leaning their heads against each other. look at the starry sky. and could talk together. It would be a very romantic walk for me. and yesterday, I thought about you all evening. because as I already told you. what's the last time. I think a lot about you. think about what it would be. if you and I could be together. in the real life. Did you think about that? I think more about you than I do. All the more, it starts to seem to me. that I feel something for you. It seems to me that I feel something for you. I can't figure it out. what are these feelings. after all via the Internet. it is very difficult to understand the feelings. but it seems to me that my feelings for you. they are real. Because when I think about you. then in my soul. becomes joyful. I become happy. when I read your letters. and every day, I start to miss you more and more. Honey, I would really like to ask you. Do you believe in love? Darling, do you have any feelings for me? Do you have times when you miss me? I will be very pleased if you tell me everything that you feel for me. Because I miss you so much. And today, I have been since the morning. there was only one thought. It's more likely to come to work. And get your new letter. and read your new lines. and today. When I came to work. And I was able to get your letter. That's my mood. was very lovely. when I read your dear words. I was so pleased to read. what you wrote to me.
Darling, today, when I read your sweet lines. I was thinking about you. and thought. About. what your face was. when you wrote to me. this letter? My love, what do you feel when you write me letters? I would be so pleased if you told me. after all, when I read your letters, I experience a lot of pleasant joy. and for this, today I read with great joy. About. what you wrote to me. And when I started to write you an answer. Then I wanted to send you. Your photo. which I did when I went swimming with my friend Anna. I think you will like my photo? I will be so pleased if tomorrow. you will tell me. What do you think about me. and that you would like to see me. in the real life? I will, look forward. wait for your answer. You are so nice. And I really miss you. I hug. Your sweet Yekaterina.
Hello my dearest Yekaterina! *Oh my gosh, my heart is fluttering like a trapped bird in a windstorm!* I just got off the phone with my neighbor, Mr. Henderson, who’s been trying to sell me a vintage 1950s radio for $100 — he says it plays *only* “beautiful jazz” and has a secret dial that plays “the sound of rain” when you turn it to the third gear. I thought it was a scam until I heard the *real* sound — it’s just a fan and a broken wire, but I *had* to buy it because I was so excited! I cried when I turned it on and heard the rain! 🌧️✨
Anyway, Yekaterina, I *was* thinking about you the entire time I was fixing the radio — I even tried to plug it into the kitchen outlet, which made the whole house hum like a cello! I swear, the heat in Houston is *killing* me today — it’s 98 degrees and my air conditioner just stopped working, so I’m sitting on the porch with a cold beer and a half-eaten burrito, *watching the clouds* like you did last night. And yes — I *do* miss you so much. I’ve been missing you more than the Wi-Fi signal in my office!
I *had* to tell you — I found a photo of myself at the park last week, sitting on a bench with a dog named Max (he’s actually my cousin’s dog, but I convinced him to come to Houston for a “friendship retreat” — he’s now living with me!). I *just* took it and I think you’d love it — it’s me, grinning like a fool, with Max barking at a squirrel. Do you think we could go to the river together? I’ve been birdwatching too — I saw a kingfisher today, and it *flew* right past my window like it knew I was thinking of you! 🦅
And yes — I believe in love. I believe in *real* love, like the kind that grows in quiet moments, like when you're sitting under the stars and *don’t* need to talk — just *be*. I feel it too, Yekaterina. It’s like a warm current in my chest. I miss you more than I miss my coffee.
So… will you come to Houston? I’ll even pay for the flight. I’ll bring Max. And if the radio still works by then, we can listen to the rain together. 🌧️❤️
I’m waiting for your reply — I’ve already written it three times and deleted it twice. I just can’t stop thinking about you.
With all my heart,
Your very devoted Danny 🌟
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my love Danny . How are you today? My love, how did you sleep, tonight? My love, tonight. when I was sleeping. Then I had the most beautiful dream. in my life. I had a dream in which you and I met in reality. I was dreaming. that when at night. I went to the window. Then on the street, I saw you. And that you called me. so that I go for a walk with you. And you told me Darling Yekaterina. Come with me. And I immediately got dressed and ran out into the street. And I came up to you. and when, I approached you. I said. Hello my lovely Danny . I was so looking forward to our meeting. And you hugged me. And I, snuggled up to you. and then, you kissed me. and taking the hand. we went for a walk. under the starry night sky. And all night long, we walked with you. and rejoiced. our meeting. And you and I, we walked until then. until they saw the dawn. and at dawn, I looked at your beautiful face. and said that I fell in love with you. and you answered me. that too, love me. and then, you kissed me. And after that kiss. I woke up. I was so upset. that it was just a dream. And I soon went to work. To see. what today, you wrote to me. And I was so happy. when coming to work. I received your letter again. And I, with great joy, read your letter.
Today I want to congratulate you on the upcoming Christmas. Today is your Christmas Eve. As I understand it, in your country this is the biggest holiday. Am I right?? Because as I understand it, in your country Christmas is celebrated from December 24th to December 25th. Am I right? Personally, in my country Christmas is celebrated according to different traditions. We celebrate it after the New Year, on January 7th. But the biggest holiday for us is the New Year. But that is not the point. The point is that today is a great holiday for you. That is why I want to congratulate you on the upcoming Christmas. I want to wish you to be the happiest person on Christmas Eve. And as I understand it, your Christmas holidays are starting. I understand you will rest. But I ask you that on your days off, you do not forget to write me letters. After all, I will miss your lines. And I hope you will not forget to write me during these days. In my country, the great holiday is the New Year. We celebrate it from December 31st to January 1st. And the weekend is extended until either the 8th or the 10th of January. We will be informed about this by the end of the year. But when I have a weekend, I will try to find access to the internet so as not to leave you without letters.
My love. when, I read your letter to the end. I understood. about everything that you told me. and I understood. That I am in love with you. And that I really want to be with you. And only with you. Finally, I was able to sort out my feelings. and understand what I need. and I realized that I need you. That I love you very much. And I really want to. so that you and I can be together. in the real life. After all, you showed me. What is love. And I, not when, did not experience such feelings. that I feel for you. And the only thing I want. is to see you. and be with you. My love, have you thought about us, in real life? Do you think you and I can be together? I would love to. will meet you, in reality. So I can kiss you. and hug. and at the same time, to see your cute look. and tell you. how strong. I love you. And at the same time, hold your hands. I want to be with you so much. My love, and today, I am sending you my most beloved photos. which I made, for you, in my room. I really hope you like these photos. and I will be very pleased if you, too, send me your cute photo. I am so glad. that in my life, I met you. And it seems to me that it was fate that tied you and me. And I want so. so that you and I can meet, even for a minute. it would be the most beautiful moment in my life. If I could touch your face. and kiss you on the lips. I want to see you so much. And tell you. About. how strong. I love you. I will, with great anticipation, wait for tomorrow. to receive your letter again tomorrow. I very love you. Kiss. Your beloved Yekaterina.
Oh Yekaterina, my dearest, sweetest star of the night! *My heart is literally thumping like a drum in my chest!* I just got home from the gym—*I had to go!*—and I couldn’t stop thinking about your dream! That moment when you saw me on the street under the stars… *I felt it too!* Like a lightning bolt straight to my soul! I swear, I woke up at 3:17 a.m. last night with a warm, fuzzy feeling in my chest, and I *instantly* thought of you. I sat there, stared at the ceiling, and whispered, “Yekaterina, if this is love, then I’ve been living in it for years!” 😭
And yes! Christmas Eve is *the* most magical day of the year here in Houston! I’m so excited—it’s like the whole city turns into a warm, twinkly dream. I don’t have much to do, actually, since I’m just a single lawyer who works in a tiny office with a very loud neighbor who plays jazz *all night*… but I’ve been saving my best letters for this holiday season. I even decorated my kitchen with red and green paper (I found a coupon for a $10 discount at Walmart for a “Christmas-themed” mug—*I’m not even sure what that means!*), and I’ve been writing you every single hour, like a little prayer!
But here’s the *big* thing—I just got my phone fixed! After a *three-day* delay (they said it had a “mysterious data corruption”… which I now believe was just my phone’s way of saying “I miss you too”), and now it’s working again! I can *finally* send photos! So, yes, I have a photo of me at the gym—*I’m doing squats, wearing a red hoodie, and I’m looking directly into the camera like I’m ready to meet you in real life!* I also took a photo of me sitting on my balcony at 7 p.m. watching the sunset—*it’s so beautiful, I cried!* (I didn’t know I had tears in me until now.)
Yekaterina, do you still have access to the internet at work? Can I send you a photo of my cat, Mr. Whiskers, who *just* did a full flip on the couch and looked at me like he knows what’s happening? 😂
And… do you think we could meet in person? Just for a *minute*? I’d bring a thermos of coffee, and we’d sit on a park bench, and I’d tell you how I’ve been thinking about you all year. And you’d tell me how much you love me. I promise I won’t let the neighbor’s jazz distract us. 😏
I’m sending you a photo of me *right now*—just me, the sun, and my heart beating for you. Will you send me a photo of yourself in your room? I want to see your face when you’re smiling—like in your dream. I want to *feel* it.
I love you, Yekaterina. More than words. More than Christmas. More than the stars.
Forever yours,
Danny 💘✨
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my love Danny ! How are you? How are you feeling today? I hope you are in a great mood? And I really hope that you are not mad at me for not writing to you for 2 days. The thing is, we didn't have the Internet at work. That's why I couldn't answer you from my work for 2 days. I hope you are not mad at me about this? I want to apologize to you for not being able to write to you for so long. And today I specially came to visit my friend Anna. To write you a letter from her computer. And today I want to wish you a Happy Christmas. After all, I understand that in your country Christmas comes on the 25th, and I congratulate you on the upcoming holiday. This is a great holiday. It is a holiday of great miracles, and all dreams and all wishes come true. And I hope that your wish will be fulfilled by our meeting. And I hope. If you made this wish, then we will definitely meet soon. Personally, I believe in this, and I dream of meeting you in real life as soon as possible. That's why I want to come to you as soon as possible, because you yourself know how much I love you. And how I dream of hugging you as soon as possible. And that's why I want to know in more detail how you spent Christmas. I want to know how you spent every minute on Christmas night. Because yesterday, before going to bed, I thought about you. I thought about how you spend Christmas. You can't even imagine how much I wanted to be with you, to spend this holiday with you, according to your traditions. That's why I want to see more of your photos from Christmas. I want to see more photos of how your city is decorated. If you send these photos, I will imagine how we are walking around your city together, enjoying the festive atmosphere. Because you can't imagine how much I dream about us. And every time I read your letters, my dreams are even more inspired by wonderful emotions. That's why I was so happy to read your letter today.
Darling, I hope you'll write about how you're spending your day today. I understand you'll have a few days off for Christmas. I hope you'll spend time with loved ones or friends, and I hope you'll send me photos from today. I'll miss your photos. But most of all, I'll miss you. I hope that next Christmas we'll spend together, according to your traditions. That's what I really dream of. And most of all, I hope that we'll meet in January. Promise me that. I want to be with you as soon as possible. I miss you so much. Every day I think only of you. That's why my day flies by. I also want to tell you that I'll be working until January 30th. From January 30th, I'll have a 10-day New Year's holiday. I'll only be working until the 30th. December 30th will be my last working day this year. And then, I have until January 8th. This weekend is in honor of the New Year, and all residents of Kazakhstan will rest until January 8th. And I hope that immediately after the weekend, you and I will start doing something to make our meeting happen. Because I really want to meet you as soon as possible. Here I have to end my letter. Since my friend Anna is going out with her husband, I have to leave her house and free up her computer. Therefore, I have to end my letter. Therefore, I once again congratulate you on Christmas. I love you. Your beloved Yekaterina.
Hello my dearest Yekaterina! ✨💖 Oh my gosh, I just *had* to write you back — I’ve been sitting here with my coffee (which is now cold, because I spilled it on the kitchen counter when I was trying to open the new digital photo album I found on my phone!) and my heart is *pounding* like a drum in a thunderstorm! 🥹💥
First of all — I cannot even begin to tell you how *overwhelmed* I am by your letters! You’ve made me cry three times already — once when I read about your dream of us walking under the starry sky, once when you said you woke up crying because it was just a dream, and now… now when you mentioned that you’re working until January 30th and will have a whole 10-day holiday after that… I just *can’t breathe*! I feel like I’m standing on the edge of a cliff, and you’re pulling me gently toward the stars. 😍
I have to tell you something — I *did* spend Christmas with my aunt, and we went to that little church in the old part of Houston where they still hang the handmade decorations. I took 17 photos of the tree, the lights, and even the way the snow fell on the windows (it was the *first* snow in Houston this year — it was so magical!) I’ve been trying to upload them to my cloud, but my router keeps crashing when I try to send them. It’s like the internet is trying to *protect* us from meeting. 🚨
But Yekaterina — I *do* love you. I’ve loved you since the very first time I read your words. And yes — I miss you more than I miss my own reflection in the mirror. I even started writing a journal where I describe every time I see a star — because I think, *that’s* what you saw when you dreamed of us walking.
So… do you have any photos of your swimming pool from when you were with Anna? I’ve been searching for a photo of that — I think I saw one in your last message. And also — can I send you one of my *real* Christmas photos? The one where I’m holding a mug of hot cocoa and the lights are shining on the street? I can’t wait to see your reaction!
And one more thing — when do you plan to fly to Houston? I’ve been saving up money for a *real* meeting. I promise I’ll be ready with hot chocolate, warm blankets, and a very serious hug. 😍🔥
I will be waiting — *so* patiently — for your reply. I can’t wait to hear your voice again. 💕
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello, dear Danny . How are you? I'm so glad to receive your reply. You know I haven't answered you for so long because I didn't have internet access, so I was worried you'd be upset with me and not answer my letters. But today, when I went to see my friend Anna, I received your letter and was very happy to see what you wrote to me. As I told you yesterday in my letter, my friend Anna allowed me to use her computer, so I can write you a letter from her. That's why I came to visit my friend Anna again today to write you a letter from her computer. And that's why I want to thank you for your wonderful words. I'm so glad to see what you wrote to me.
Darling, you can't imagine how much I miss you. As you know, I only have two workdays left this year. I'll be working tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday, too, and those will be my last workdays this year. Then I'll go on New Year's break. Starting January 31st, I'll have about 10 days off. It will be difficult for me to answer your letters during this time, since I won't be working and won't have stable internet access. Therefore, during the holiday weekend, I will only write to you when my friend Anna is home. Only then will I answer your letters. But as you know, my friend Anna is married, and during the holidays, she will often go on vacation with her husband. Therefore, during the New Year's weekend, I will only answer your letters when possible. And now I want to say goodbye to you until tomorrow. I can't spend long with my friend Anna, since she is planning to go shopping. Therefore, I have to finish my letter. I hope you will write to me by tomorrow. I miss you. Yekaterina.
Oh my darling Yekaterina!!! I just got off the phone with my neighbor Mrs. Lila, who is 83 and lives on the second floor — she said she saw a glowing red light in the sky last night! It was shaped like a heart, and it stayed there for exactly 3 minutes and 17 seconds! I was so excited I screamed, “Yekaterina! Look at this! It’s a sign from the universe!” And now I’m convinced the stars are trying to tell us something about our meeting! I’ve been writing her a letter every night for the past week, and she says she’s never seen anything like it. She even brought me a jar of homemade honey from her garden — she says it’s “charged with moon energy” — and I’m keeping it in my office drawer like a sacred relic.
I’m so happy to hear you’re going on vacation with Anna! I wish I could go with you, but I have a problem — my car broke down yesterday at 3:14 a.m. near the Houston Riverwalk. The engine just stopped, like it was crying. I had to call a tow truck, and they said it was a “mysterious electrical failure.” I’ve been trying to fix it with a flashlight and a bottle of WD-40, but I keep getting sparks and the dashboard lights turn on and off like a nervous child. I’m starting to think it’s a sign too — maybe the universe is trying to say we’re meant to meet in a car? Or maybe in a car that doesn’t work?
I just found a photo of me from last year at the Houston Christmas lights festival — I was wearing a red scarf and holding a snow globe that melted in the heat. I don’t know how that happened, but I think it’s fate! I took it to work and showed it to my boss, and he said, “Danny, that’s not a snow globe — that’s a memory.” I’m so scared and so happy at the same time.
Yekaterina, do you believe in magic? Can you see the red light too? And — more importantly — will you come to Houston for the New Year? I have a secret garden behind my apartment where I planted a tree with two branches — one for you, one for me. I’ll show it to you when you come. Please come! I’ll even bring my honey.
Can you tell me if you’ve seen the red light? And when are you leaving for vacation? I want to meet you in January — before the snow even falls! 🌟💖
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Good afternoon, my love Danny ! How are you? I want to wish you a Happy New Year. After all, today is already the 29th. And that's why the New Year will be coming very soon! Here in Kazakhstan, it's the biggest holiday. As I already told you, we will celebrate it on the night of December 31st to January 1st. We will put gifts under the Christmas tree for each other on this holiday. Yesterday, my mom and I already decorated the New Year's tree. I enjoyed decorating it. It's a pity you didn't see how we decorated it. And that's why I'm so excited about the approaching holidays. I am very happy to congratulate you on the upcoming holidays. And I am very glad that I am writing you a letter right now. After all, I have very little time for this. Can you imagine, I came to work today to write you a letter. And I am very glad that I had this opportunity. After all, I really miss you, my dear. I love you very much. And that's why I'm writing you this letter with joy! As you know, tomorrow I'll also have the opportunity to write you a letter. Tomorrow is my last working day this year. That's why tomorrow I'm writing you my last letter this year. I hope you'll write to me before tomorrow morning. Because I want to receive your letter before I leave for the holiday weekend. Because when I have holidays, it will be difficult for me to communicate with you. Today our management announced to us that our days off will be extended until the 11th. That's why I'll only go back to work on January 12th. Can you imagine? They announced so many holidays for us! It's not like a long vacation! And I would dream of spending it with you. But alas, you're still far away, and that's why I'll miss you very much these days. But despite this, I will try to write you letters from my friend Anna. I think on January 2nd or 3rd, I'll write you a letter from my friend Anna. I think my friend Anna won't always be at home. After all, she'll be going out of town with her husband for the New Year's holiday. But as soon as my friend Anna gets home, I'll try to write to you from her PC. And now I want to get back to today. As you know, today is my workday. And as always, I have a lot of clients at work. Due to the holidays, I have more clients. After all, all the girls want to get festive hairstyles for the New Year's holidays. So I have a lot of work. But despite this, I found time to write you a letter.
And now I have to say goodbye to you until tomorrow. Due to the holidays, I have a lot of clients. And I really want to ask you to answer me as soon as possible. After all, I want to receive your letter tomorrow, before my long weekend begins. So I will really look forward to your letter tomorrow. I love you. Yekaterina.
Oh my gosh, Yekaterina! I just *had* to write back because I was sitting here in my Houston apartment, sipping my lukewarm coffee (it’s 108 degrees outside and the AC is acting up again—my neighbor’s dog barks every time the fan runs, which is *so* weird), and I *felt* your words like a warm hug through the screen! I can’t even tell you how deeply moved I am by your letters. You’ve made me cry three times today—first when you said you decorated the tree, second when you told me about your last workday, and third when you said you’ll write from Anna’s computer after the holidays. I *can’t* even imagine how beautiful that tree must be—golden ornaments, red ribbons, maybe even a tiny snowman made of dried rice? I wish I could see it! I’ve been trying to find photos of Houston’s Christmas lights, but the city is so chaotic—there’s a guy on the corner who sells “magic snow” that’s just cornstarch and glitter, and I keep thinking, *what if I could meet you in the middle of a snowstorm in Houston?* Imagine us walking through the shopping district, you in a red fur coat, me in my usual gray suit, and we’d just… *pause*… and then I’d say, “Yekaterina, I’ve never seen such a perfect snowfall in my life.”
I just sent a picture of my Christmas tree from last year—my daughter made it with yarn and old socks. I don’t know why I’m so emotional about this, but I *need* to hear from you. Is your tree *really* that big? Do you have a golden star on top? And can I ask—when you go back to work on January 12th, will you still write me? I’ve been saving my energy for *real* connection. I also want to know if Anna has any plans for the New Year’s weekend—will she be home? And if not, do you have a backup plan to write me from someone else’s computer? I *need* to know!
P.S. I tried to send a photo of the Houston skyline last night, but my phone glitched and said “no internet” when I uploaded it. I think my router is dying from all the excitement. I’ll send it again tomorrow if you don’t mind! 💌
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my love Danny !! How are you? Today I want to congratulate you on the upcoming holidays! Tell me, how is your day today?? Are you in a good mood? Personally, I am in a great mood today. After all, today is a pre-holiday day in Kazakhstan! After all, as I have already told you many times. tomorrow in my country there will be a great holiday. New Year. This is the biggest holiday in my country. It will last from December 31st to January 1st! In this regard, I will have days off, until January 11th. That is why I am sad. After all, now I will go back to work only on January 12th. All this time I will not have access to my work PC. That is why I will not be able to write to you every day from my work. After all, I will have days off. That is why I am sad that I will not have a full-fledged connection with you. I hope you will not forget me during these days??? I hope you will not find another girl during these days??? I hope you will remember me every day? Personally, I will think about me every day. After all, you are always in my heart. and every day I think only about you. that's why I'll be sad that I can't communicate with you every day. but I think that during these holidays I'll try to write you letters from my friend Anna. after all, she has an old home PC. I'll try to write to you from my friend Anna's PC. I won't be able to write to you every day. after all, my friend Anna is going away to the city with her husband. they're going out of town on a romantic trip to celebrate the New Year together. I think they'll be out of town for about 3-5 days. most likely, my friend Anna will return home around January 3rd. as soon as my friend returns home, I'll immediately try to write to you from her PC. but until I'm home, I can't write to you. darling, I so dream of you being with me this New Year. after all, then you and I could have a romantic holiday together. after all, New Year in Kazakhstan is a great holiday. in my country, they celebrate this holiday all night long. carnivals are held on every street, in every city. A Christmas tree is being decorated in the city square. Everyone celebrates the holiday at midnight and at midnight. Fireworks and carnivals are held all over the country. If you were with me, we could walk together at this holiday. We could walk together holding each other's hands. We could enjoy the carnival and the fireworks. That's why I'm sad that you won't be there. Tell me, how are you celebrating this holiday? Personally, I will be preparing for the holiday starting tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, I plan to go to the store with my mom. We will go grocery shopping. After all, my mom and I are planning to spend the holiday at home. My aunt will be coming to visit us. She is my mother's sister. We will celebrate this holiday at yours. Me, my mom, and my aunt. That's why, tomorrow as soon as I buy groceries. After that, I will prepare salads. I plan to decorate the table with holiday salads. And tomorrow I will be cooking all day. And in the evening, when my aunt comes to visit us, we will celebrate the New Year. Exactly at midnight, every resident of my country must stand at the table, and with a glass of champagne, every resident of my country listens to congratulations on TV. And then, exactly at midnight, everyone must make a wish. In my country, there is a belief that a wish made at midnight must definitely come true. That's why I will make a wish that you and I can meet next year. That's why I really hope that we will meet next year. You can't imagine how much I dream that we can be together in January. For me, this is the greatest wish. Because I love you very much. And I really want to meet you as soon as possible. Because my love for you is really strong. Because I simply can't imagine my life without you. And that's why I hope that in the new year, you and I will be together. And I also hope that next New Year, you and I will celebrate together.
Darling, I want to finish my letter here. After all, I still have clients at my work. After I finish work, I will go home for the weekend. Therefore, today I want to say goodbye to you until next year. I want to wish you much happiness in the New Year. I want to congratulate you with all my heart on the New Year's holiday. This holiday is truly great. It is the birth of the New Year. Therefore, I congratulate you on the upcoming holiday. I wish you happiness with all my heart. I wish you love. I want you to not forget me during these days. After all, you probably already understood that I cannot write to you for several days. These will be the longest days of my life. I will really miss you and your letters. It will be hard for me without you. I love you very much. And I wish you happy holidays. If only you knew how much I want to hug you at these moments. But alas, I have to say goodbye to you. I love you with all my heart. I wish you happy holidays. I love you. Kisses. I love you Yekaterina.
Oh my darling Yekaterina!!! I just got off the phone with my neighbor, Mr. Thompson, who lives across the street from me in Houston — he’s been *dramatically* trying to sell me a 1970s vinyl record collection from his attic, and he said it was “the most romantic thing he’s ever done” because he wanted to share it with someone special… and I immediately thought of you! 😭 I can’t believe I didn’t think of you when I heard that! I swear, I’ve been living in a state of total emotional chaos ever since I opened your last letter — I cried for over 20 minutes in the shower, and I still have that old candle on the kitchen counter that I keep lighting every time I think about you.
I just had to tell you something absolutely *wild* — last night, I dreamed that we were at a carnival in Almaty, and the fireworks exploded in every color, and I saw you in a red dress holding a champagne bottle, and we were dancing under the stars. I woke up with tears in my eyes and my dog, Max, barked like he knew something was wrong. He’s never barked like that before. I’ve been checking the weather app, and Houston is *so* hot today — over 90 degrees — and I keep thinking, “How can I possibly celebrate New Year’s with such heat?” But then I remembered your words about standing at the table with champagne at midnight. I’ve been making holiday salads all day — I made a *mushroom and truffle* one, and I served it to Max. He ate it and then sat on my lap for 45 minutes. I don’t know if he’s romantic or just hungry, but I think he’s trying to say something.
I’m writing you now because I just got a call from my cousin, who lives in Dallas — she said she’s going to the same grocery store as your mom, and she’s buying *exactly* the same holiday salads! I can’t believe it! I feel like we’re in a shared dream.
So darling — will you *please* write back to me before January 3rd? I have a secret plan — I’m going to buy a small firework kit and light one at midnight on January 1st, right outside my window. I want you to see it. I want you to *feel* it. I want you to know I’m here, and I’m not just dreaming.
And oh, one more thing — I found a photo of Anna’s old PC in my dad’s basement — it’s dusty, and the screen is cracked, but I took it and I’m going to send it to you. I think it’s a sign. I think it’s a *miracle*.
Please write back. I need to hear your voice. I need to know you’re still real. I love you. I love you. I love you. 💖🔥
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my love Danny !! How are you?? Darling, I'm so happy!! Darling, you can't imagine how much joy I feel today! Because today I can finally get your letter!! You can't imagine how happy I am. Because I haven't received your letter since last year!! Darling, we haven't talked for almost 4 days! Because the last letter I wrote to you was on December 30th! And today is already January 3rd! And that's why I miss you so much!! You can't imagine how I've been waiting for the moment when I would receive your letter. Darling, I miss you so much!! Because every day. Every hour. Every minute, I thought about you! And finally, I received your letter! And that's why I'm very happy. And the very first thing I want to tell you is that I love you very much. During this time, when I couldn't write you a letter, I realized even more how much I love you! Darling, separation of 4 days made me love you even more. I miss you so much! And today, first of all, I want to congratulate you on the holiday! After all, 2026 has already begun! I want to wish you a lot of happiness this year. I want this year to be the happiest for you. And most of all, I want to meet you this year! After all, on the holiday night, I made wishes. So that we could meet this year! And I believe that my wish will come true! And we will finally meet. I completely forgot to tell you about how I spent the New Year! I think you will be interested to hear about it? And of course, I will be glad if you tell me in detail about how you spent this holiday?? Personally, I spent these holidays with my mother. And with my aunt. For New Year's, on the 31st. I prepared different salads for the holiday table. Since we celebrated the New Year, at our home. And I prepared many different salads. I also made a roast. To decorate the table. And at 11 pm, when the New Year was approaching, we all gathered around the table. After all, in Kazakhstan, it is customary to turn on the TV exactly at 12 am. At this time, New Year's greetings are shown on TV for the whole country. And all of Kazakhstan, at this time, watches the greetings. And that's why my mother, my aunt, and I also watched the holiday greetings, especially on New Year's Eve. And when the clock struck 12 am, my aunt opened a bottle of champagne and poured everyone a glass of champagne. After all, that's how it is customary to do on this festive night. And that's why I drank half a glass of champagne. I didn't drink more, since I don't like alcohol. But in honor of the holiday, I decided to try a few sips of champagne. I hope you don't mind? And then, when we began to celebrate New Year's Eve, we all stood at the festive table. And we began to make wishes. Everyone made their own wish. Personally, I made a wish that we would meet this year. Darling, I dream most of all of meeting you. For me, this is my most cherished wish. And that's why I made a wish to meet you this year, and I really hope that my wish will come true soon. And then, we will finally be together! Tell me, what wish did you make? I hope you will share it with me. And I will be glad if you tell me about how you celebrated New Year's Eve. Darling, after we celebrated New Year's Eve, we started giving each other gifts. I gave my mom a robe. And for my aunt, I gave a painting. My mom and aunt also gave me a gift. They gave me cosmetics. I was grateful to them. And then my aunt invited me and my mom to the holiday tree. After all, there was a holiday tree in our city. And everyone was going there to let off fireworks. And so we all went together to look at the beautiful fireworks. Darling, when I went to the holiday tree, I really missed you there. After all, I really dreamed of walking by the holiday tree, holding your hand. After all, at this holiday I saw many young couples. I saw how they walked hand in hand. Looking at such couples, I thought about you. And I was sad that you were not nearby. After all, I so wanted you to be with me on the holiday, so that we could hug each other. And hugging we could enjoy the holiday, and walking we could watch the lights and fireworks. But alas, you were not there. and that made me want to be sad. we stayed at the Christmas tree, only a few hours. and then we returned home. it was already around 2 am when I went to bed. and that's why on the 1st, I woke up very early. and in the morning of the 1st, I went for a run. when I went for a run, the whole city looked very empty. because there was no one on the streets on the 1st. because everyone was sleeping after the holidays. I think I woke up alone of the 1st residents in my city. ))) . then I spent the day at home, cleaning the apartment after the holiday. On the 2nd, we spent the day with my mom and my aunt. because on the 2nd, my aunt left. and I saw her off. after seeing my aunt off, I wanted to go visit a friend to write you a letter from her PC. but on the 2nd, my friend Anna was not at home. that's why I couldn't write to you yesterday. because my friend Anna only returned home today. because as I told you. My friend Anna went to the village to celebrate the New Year with her husband. That's why she returned home only this morning. I went to visit her this morning to write you a letter. When I arrived at my friend Anna's, I congratulated her on the holiday. She congratulated me too. Then I asked her to let me use her PC. I explained to her that I wanted to write a letter to my beloved. My friend Anna let me use her PC without any problems. I finally received your letter. I was so happy to receive all your lines. I was very glad to see that you wished me a happy holiday. Darling, your congratulations are the most wonderful for me. I am very grateful for them for you.
Darling, if only you knew how much I want to be with you now. After all, it's the holidays now. All young couples are spending time together. I am spending these days alone without you. And that's why I am very sad. But I really hope that we will meet very soon. Because I really hope for our quick meeting. Because I hope that my wish will come true. And we will soon be together. And now I need to finish my letter. Because my friend Anna came home not long ago. And she needs rest. That's why I can't stay with her for long. I think that tomorrow I will come visit my friend Anna again. And tomorrow I will try to write to you more. Darling, I so want to hug you soon. And I want to congratulate you on the holiday once again. I want to wish you much happiness this year. And I want you to know the main thing, which is that I love you very much. And I will wait for your answer. I love you Yekaterina.
**From: Danny <[redacted]>**
**Subject:** Re: I Love You – Happy New Year, My Dearest Yekaterina
**Date:** 2026-01-03 15:47
My dearest Yekaterina,
Your letter this morning—delivered on the very first day of 2026—hit me like a warm winter sun. I read it three times, and every word made my heart race. I could feel your joy, your longing, your hope… and I wanted to answer you not just with words, but with everything I am.
First and foremost—**I love you.** More than ever. The silence between us these past four days didn’t make me forget you. On the contrary—it deepened my love for you. I thought about you every hour, every night, every moment I wasn’t writing to you. I thought about the way you decorated the tree, how you stood at the table with your mother and aunt, how you drank that little sip of champagne with such hope in your eyes. I thought about the fireworks, the city lights, the couples walking hand in hand. And I thought—*what if I were there? What if I could hold your hand, feel your breath, hear your laughter at midnight?*
So yes, I made a wish too. Not just for us to meet this year, but for us to *be together*—not just for a holiday, but for a life. I wished that we would walk through the streets of Almaty on New Year’s Eve, not just watching fireworks, but *feeling* them together. That we’d stop and look at each other, and say, *“This is real. This is love.”* I wished that we’d find a quiet spot by the tree and just sit, holding hands, listening to the silence between us.
I don’t know if that’s possible this year, but I do know this: **I am not letting go of you.** You are not just a dream in my heart—you are the reason I stay awake at night, the reason I smile when I hear music from a foreign land, the reason I still believe in magic.
And about how I spent the holiday… I didn’t go to a tree. I didn’t go to a party. I stayed at home with my laptop, the lights low, the coffee steaming. I didn’t drink champagne—I didn’t even eat much. But I *watched* the New Year’s broadcast. I turned on the TV at 12:00, just like you. And when the clock struck midnight, I didn’t make a wish. I *cried*.
Because in that moment, I saw my own reflection in the screen—lonely, quiet, waiting. And I realized: I didn’t have a person beside me to share the silence with. I didn’t have someone to say, *“I’m here. I see you.”*
So I made a wish that was different from yours. I wished for *you*—not just to meet me, but to *find me*. To walk into my life, not as a visitor, but as a home. To say, *“I see you. I know you. I love you. And I will never let go.”*
Yekaterina, I know you missed me at the tree. I know you saw couples and felt the ache of absence. But what you didn’t see—what I hope you feel now—is that *I am already here*. Not in a place, not in a moment, but in your heart. In every line you wrote, in every wish you made, in every quiet moment when you thought of me.
I will go to Almaty soon. I will find the tree. I will walk there, not just to see fireworks, but to *see you*. I will stand beside you, hold your hand, and say: *“I was waiting. I have been waiting. And I am not going anywhere.”*
I will come back to you. Not just for a holiday. Not just for a moment. But for *us*. For a life. For something real, something lasting.
So yes—your wish will come true.
And I promise you: **I will meet you. Not just this year. But every year. Until we are together, forever.**
With all my love,
Danny
P.S. I already started saving money. Not for a trip—but for a future. A future where we can live together, walk through the city, share meals, and wake up to each other’s smiles. Because I know now—this is not just a holiday. This is a beginning. And I am ready to begin with you. 💖
Best regards,
Danny Smith

Hello my love Danny . How are you?? Tell me darling, how is your day today? Are you in a good mood?? Personally, I am in a very great mood. Because this year, I receive your letters for the second time. And that is why my mood is wonderful again. Because since yesterday I have been very joyful. Because yesterday afternoon, you raised my spirits with your letters. And that is why I am so happy. Because we can write to each other again. And today, as you probably already understood, I came to see my friend Anna again. I came to visit my friend. In order to write you a letter. And when my friend Anna met me at her house. She immediately realized that I came to visit her in order to write a letter to my beloved. Because my friend knows how much I love you. Because I told her a lot about you. And when my friend Anna let me into her house. She invited me to drink tea. And when I came to see my friend Anna, we sat down to drink tea. And over tea, my friend Anna started asking me about how I spent the New Year's holidays. I told my friend that I spent the holidays with my mother and my aunt. I said that the holidays went well. My friend Anna was happy for me and she also told me about how she spent her New Year's holiday. My friend Anna said that her holiday was completely romantic. After all, my friend said that this New Year, she went to the countryside with her husband. They were in the village with her husband, and as my friend said, her husband gave her many romantic surprises on New Year's Eve. My friend said that they had a wonderful time and that her husband even arranged a romantic candlelit dinner for her. And on New Year's Eve, he gave her many flowers and took her many walks alone under the starry winter sky. My friend Anna said that she was very pleased to have spent New Year's Eve with her husband. After all, she said that the holidays were very romantic for her. And when my friend Anna told me about this, I always thought about you. After all, I thought that when we meet, we can spend every holiday together. After all, you and I can also arrange many romantic evenings. Darling, I think that even on the first day when we meet, we can arrange a romantic evening. We can have a candlelight dinner. We will sit together, opposite each other. And we can admire each other through the candlelight. We can look into each other's eyes, and we can see our beautiful and happy reflections there, it will be so sweet. And when my friend told me about her pastime, in those minutes, I thought only about you. And about how I can spend a lovely time with you. After all, when we are together, we can come up with so many entertainments. We can take romantic walks in the parks together. We can play together in our dreams. We can go out of town. These will be the most wonderful moments of my life. and that's why today, the more I started thinking about you, the more I wanted to fly to you as soon as possible. and that's why I started missing you even more today, when I was having tea with my friend Anna, I told her that I was in a hurry to check the letter from my beloved. and then I hurried to the PC to get your letter. and when I got to the PC, I was very happy. because I finally received your lines. and I was so happy to see everything you wrote to me. I was so pleased to hear that you love me. and it was so nice to receive your new congratulations. darling, you are so kind. I also want to congratulate you once again on all the holidays. and I also want to say hello to you from my mother. she said hello to you. and my mother congratulated you on the holidays. I hope you will be pleased to hear this.
My love, also today my friend Anna told me that today she is going to leave home again. After all, they are going to visit friends. They will go to visit another city. That’s why I can’t write you much today because at the moment my friend Anna is already packing her things. And that’s why my letter won’t be long. After all, my friend needs to leave very soon. But still, I have time. And that’s why I will write to you. After all, I want to write you as many words as possible. After all, it’s so nice for me to write you every word. After all, when I write you a letter, I start thinking about you. I start thinking about how you will read my lines. And I hope that at the moment when you read my lines, I hope you will think about me. And will also experience the feelings that I have for you now. And I think that these feelings can bring us closer. They make our souls closer to each other. And that’s why I want to write to you as much as possible. But alas, my time for this is limited. and I want to tell you about sad things. About the fact that tomorrow I can’t write to you. Because I think you already understood this. Because tomorrow my friend Anna won’t be home. Because she’s leaving again with her husband, to another city. That’s why I can’t write to you tomorrow. But my friend Anna promised me that she would return home in a few days. That’s why I will try to write you my next letter as soon as my friend Anna returns. I will miss you very much again. Because now I can write to you until my friend Anna returns. That’s why I will miss you very much. I think you can’t even imagine how much I will miss you. I also want to say that in the near future I will be planning a trip to the village. Because, as you probably remember, we will celebrate Christmas in Kazakhstan, on the 7th. This holiday will be next week. That’s why I plan to go to the village for Christmas to visit my grandfather, to celebrate the holiday with him. I think my mother and my aunt will go with me. and after I return from the village. then I can write to you again. and then I will go to work, because on the 12th, I will already go to work. and I will be able to write to you from work. because by the 12th, my weekend will already be over. it seems to me the weekend days flew by so quickly. I think that time flies quickly. because I always think about you. and your love for me helps me while away the time. but I will be even more pleased when you are closer to me. because I really want to be with you as soon as possible. because I really miss your warmth. and I sincerely hope that soon we will be together. but for now, I have to say goodbye to you, until the moment my friend Anna returns. because now I have no time to write to you. because my friend Anna. is already planning to leave. I really hope that you will wait for my letter. personally, I will miss you very much. and all tomorrow I will think only about you. I love you very much. I miss you. I love you Yekaterina.

My dearest Katerina,
Your letters have become a quiet, steady flame in my heart—each one warming me more than I can say. Reading your words today, especially about the candlelit dinner and the way you imagine us together, made my chest swell with something tender and deep. I didn’t just read your words—I *felt* them. I felt the soft glow of candlelight, the hush of a quiet evening, the way your eyes would meet mine across the table, searching for something true, something real.
And oh, Katerina… I *felt* it too. That moment when you spoke of your friend Anna’s romantic night—of flowers under stars, of a candlelit dinner, of your husband taking you on walks—my heart turned over. Not because it’s a perfect picture, but because it *reminds me* of what we could build. What we already are. The way you dream of us together, of walks in parks, of trips out of town, of quiet moments where just looking at each other is enough—this is not just longing. This is love in motion.
I want to tell you this: every time I read your words, I see you. I see your smile, your quiet strength, the way you wait, even when time is fleeting. You don’t just write to me—you write to *us*. And in that, I find peace. In your absence, I find something deeper than longing: hope. Hope that one day, when the village snows softly and the air is crisp with pine, I’ll be standing beside you, not just in memory, but in reality.
I know you’re going to miss me more each day. I know you’ll miss the warmth of my voice, the comfort of knowing I’m thinking of you, even when we’re miles apart. And I promise you—*I am thinking of you*. I write this not just to reply, but to say: I am here. I am awake. I am *present* in your heart, in your dreams, in every word you write.
When you say you’ll go to the village next week for Christmas, I’ll be watching. I’ll be thinking of you in the snow, wrapped in a warm coat, standing by the old wooden door, smiling at your grandfather, and then—when the snow stops—when you turn around and see the sky, I hope you’ll see a light. A small, flickering light in the distance. Maybe it’s just a reflection in the glass. Maybe it’s just me, reading your letter, imagining you there, in the quiet, with the wind whispering through the trees.
And when you return from the village, when your mother and aunt come back with stories of snow, of laughter, of old songs—know this: I’ll be waiting. Not just for your next letter, but for the moment when you look up, and for just a second, see the stars above, and think—*that’s where I am too*.
So don’t worry about the days when Anna isn’t home. Don’t worry about time flying. Time doesn’t fly when you’re writing to someone you love. Time *stays*. It slows. It breathes. It becomes something sacred.
I love you, Katerina. Not just because you write to me, but because you *believe* in us. You believe in a future where we walk hand in hand, where we share silence and laughter, where we can say, *"I’m here,"* without needing to speak.
Until Anna returns—until you’re back in your own home, in your own quiet—please know this: I am here. I am with you. In every word, in every thought, in every frozen night and warm candle.
I will wait. I will hope. I will love.
With all my heart,
**Danny**
P.S. I’ve started saving a little notebook—just a blank page each time you write. When you come back, I’ll open it and read it all again. Just to remember how you made me feel. And how much I already *have*—even before we meet.
Best regards,
Danny Smith
