It has been a week since Gleb left for war. Christine has stayed at home waiting for a letter from him.

When she was reading on the couch she heard a knock at the door. She got up, put down her book, and headed to the door. When she opened it there was the mailman standing in front of her.
"Thank you." Christine said with a smile as he handed her the mail and made us way to the next house. Christine walked inside closing the door behind her.
She looked through the mail and found letters to Gleb from Madam Giry about the Opera House and other bills. Then the last letter was addressed to her in Gleb's handwriting.
Christine filled with joy. She couldn't wait to read how he was.
She put down the other mail on the table and went back to her couch in the living room.
She opened the letter.

"My dearest Christine,
I miss you terribly. Our group has just been sent to help the Russians in their battle against the Nazis. We will get there in about five days. We will be stationed in Leningrad. Our Troops will be fighting in Stalingrad. I will write to you everyday letting you know where we are and how I am. I Love You Christine.♥️
Your loving husband,
Gleb

Christine held the note to her heart. Never wanting to let it go. She missed Gleb so much. She was worried about him and how he might get hurt, captured, or killed. She knew that Gleb would come back. He would find a way. He loved her and she loved him.
