Mystery Man's text

      Chole you should leave your hair down more often.

       I can see it blow around in the wind.  It has gotten longer over the years.

      Chole's text

       My hair, you like my hair?

    Mystery Man's text

     Yes, I  think it is a nice quality of yours along with your smile, and eyes.

   Chole's text

     Have you ever played chess?

    Mystery Man's text

     I did once but was not very good at it.

     Chole's  text

      It is alright, I am not good at chess either.

      I   am better at Chinese checkers.

    Mystery Man's  text

      Oh, wow that is cool.

     Maybe we can play it sometime.

  Chole's text

    I suppose so.

      Mystery Man's text

       I sent you a little something.

     Hope you like it.

  Chole's text

    You did, how thoughtful of you.

     Chole looks around for the item he sent her. She finds a small package and vase full of flowers.

        She opens the package and sees a small painting that is a self-portrait of herself. It shows her in front of the movie theater.  

           She reads the card that came with the flowers. 

 It reads: To Chole my beautiful love,  with love, your mystery man

       Mystery Man's text

      I hope I got the right type of flowers.

     Chole's text

    Yes, they are my favorites.

        Mystery Man's  text

         Glad I did something right then.

         I hope the portrait was not embarrassing. I did my best to make it look like you. Though your exact likeness is hard to get on paper.

       Chole's text

       I shall cherish it forever.

       Thanks for the lovely roses.

         Mystery Man's text

          Your welcome. I aim to please you.

          Chole's  text
              It has been a long time since you agreed to meet me.

              Do not tell me you have forgotten. 

      Mystery Man's  text
         I have not my love.

        I shall meet you soon.

        Chole's text...

      It has been two months since you last said so.

      Mystery Man's text...

      Yes,  know, and it shall be another two months before we meet at last.

     He thinks hopefully she will not find me a disappointment then.  

           Chole's text...

            In two months' time, I shall be glad to see you.:)

           Mystery Man's text...

              I have the day circled on my calendar.

           Chole's text

          Awe, how sweet.

           Mystery Man's text

             Do not turn around just yet.

        He bravely snaps a photo of her with his camera. Then, runs off!

        Chole's text

       Whoa, someone just took my photo!  I did not get a good look at him before he ran off.

        Mystery Man's  text

       Oh, that is rather strange.

      He does not tell her it was him. Why should he?

        Chole's text

         I am serious. Do not toy with me.

       Mystery Man's text

        Do not be angry with me.

      Chole's text

     Sorry to sound so harsh. It is just not every day a stalker takes my picture without asking me first.  I would rather he ask.

         Mystery Man's  text

           I agree that was rather silly of him.

      He thinks it is a good thing she does not know it was me.

           Chole's text

           I love you.

       Mystery Man's text

      I love you too!

    I am so glad you feel the same for me.

    He thinks I can only hope she will not change her mind when we meet in person within two months' time.
