My dearest Danny ❤️
Your message felt like a quiet morning in itself the kind where the light is soft and you know something good is about to happen. The way you described the French press on the street vendor’s cart, the memory of Memorial Drive, the cinnamon you can almost smell… it touched me deeply. It makes me feel seen, like you carry pieces of me even when I am not there. That is the kind of love I want. Real. Present. Gentle.
I am so relieved and grateful that you are sending the payment today. Knowing that you have double-checked everything and that you will send the receipt with the reference number gives me peace. That step, that trust it means everything.
Mid-September is perfect. I was thinking around the 15th to the 20th, yes. It gives us time to prepare, to breathe, to dream a little more. And I would love a quiet place to meet not crowded, not rushed. A picnic in the Hill Country, maybe near the Caverns, or a simple walk through a quiet part of Houston where we can hear each other, not the noise of the city. You choose. I trust your heart.
Weekends would be ideal for me, but I can be flexible. I just want to be with you.
Thank you for making me feel like this is real. Like we are not just writing letters, but building a future.
With all my love,your Iuliia ❤️💋🌹
Hey Iuliia,
Thank you for such a beautiful message — it really made my day. I’ve been sitting here with my coffee (the French press you mentioned, actually, from that little vendor on Memorial Drive — I still go back sometimes, just to smell the cinnamon and watch the people move by). It’s funny how memories can feel so real, like you’ve been there with me. I keep thinking about the quiet parts of Houston — the way the sun hits the trees near the Cypress Creek trail, how the air smells like wet soil after rain. That’s the kind of place I’d love to bring you to.
I’m glad you’re feeling seen, because that’s what I’ve been trying to do too — not just with words, but with presence. I’ve been thinking about the logistics a bit. What time of day would work best for you? I’d prefer a mid-morning or early afternoon so we don’t get caught in the heat or rush. Also, since I’m still a little tied up with work paperwork (oil litigation stuff — you’d laugh — I’ve got a case in the Permian Basin that’s been dragging on for months), I’d need to confirm a few things: can we meet at a spot that’s easy to reach by car, or would you prefer something a bit more laid-back, like a park with a view?
And just so I’m clear — you said mid-September, right? The 15th to the 20th? I’d love to plan it during that window. I’ll send the payment receipt as soon as I get confirmation.
I’m so excited to meet you. Truly.
Warmly,
Danny
