Dart must have returned so late from Kent that he was unable to write tonight. What luck that Dot gave us something to read!
To prove how much she loves him, she writes that she hasn’t even taken her coat off from when he left. It’s a mere 15 minutes from when they said good night (the last time, anyway). How happy she is that Al and Phyll seem to like each other so much, because Phyll says Al will be back next Friday. That means maybe Dart could hitch another ride. She can hardly stand the thought of going more than a week without seeing him, although she knows those times are coming.
She marvels about how content she feels, lying in his arms with her head on his chest. She would prefer to remain in that position forever. She’s felt that way with hm before, but tonight, perhaps because she was feeling a bit under the weather, it meant more to her than ever. “You’re wonderful, Dart, and I will love you forever and ever.”
At this point, she takes time for sleep and awakes the next morning, feeling blue that there’ll be no letter from Dart today. Still, her night was filled with dreams of him, so she’ll have to be content with that.
She apologizes for not showing more interest in his talk about an insurance policy last night. Although she’s completely ignorant of such things, she’s honored that he is thinking of her and their future security. When she thinks about things like that, she gets choked up, and words won’t come.
She shares his superstitions about joint bank accounts, so rather than tempt fate, they could continue to save individually for now. After they are Mr. and Mrs., they can open a joint account. She likes just thinking about that, but she has serious doubts about how much she’ll be able to save in a year.
Right now she must drag herself to work. She always hates the thought of going in, but once she’s there, she rather likes it. She’s sorry she couldn’t serve him when he was there on Friday, but she hopes he’ll give her another chance soon.
“Thank you for coming, and thank you for loving me almost as much as I love you.”
