Sixth letter, one night at the city

Mark started a career in the city, things were not that easy for him, specially with Leo away.

Dear Brandy,

I hope this letter find you at well, finally a disk to write you a letter, I am now an editor in some news paper, I didn't get my salary yet so I'm sleeping in the car, I couldn't get a night shift job, but I'll do fine once I get paid, rent an apartment and start a new life.
I called Leo the other day, his father is getting well, he says he'll join me in few days, he proposed to Sharon, it seems his mother likes her, otherwise I know he wouldn't propose, he told me that you called again, and that you both talked, he says I should call you, get things fixed between us, but I'm still not sure, I do miss your voice at night, I miss our arguments, but I feel that I'm not sober enough to fix things.

I know you think I'm a hard-headed stubborn fool, but the fact is that I need this, I need this space to think over our friendship, or what ever it may be, they say time heals, I think traveling heals better, so I might as well leave this city once Leo joins me, and since I don't have a place to stay you won't be able to write me, but I'll always think of what you're about to say whenever you get my letters.

I found a Ballerina music box, just like the one you had, it was broken, but I manged to fix it, you know how good I am with tools, I got it for Leo's gun, bad deal I'd say, but this one has an alarm clock thing, I sat it on 3:32 so it would remind me of that time.
Brandy, I hope this doesn't effect you, I know how much you need someone to stand by your side, and I know how bad does my departure hurt you, but please stay strong, don't let guilt overtake you like it did to me, well, the sun is almost up I better get going, can you believe I start work at 6:00am.
I don't know when my next letter would be, and still don't know wither you receive my letters or not, no one mentioned anything about it, but I know I'll always write you, be sane and be well.
Yours truly,
 Mark.

Another strong letter. I like his view and his attitude. Accepting life without complain and moving to the next step in his life. Thank you for sharing the excellent letter.
