Photo Story: Taking a Chance
December 6, 2006
*Wolfgang and Roxanne are reading together as they often do, but in a somewhat tense silence...*
Roxanne: *closes book* Wolfgang?
Wolfgang: Yes?
Roxanne: Do you remember when we first met?
Wolfgang: Of course. I'll never forget it, you were so nice. Why?
Roxanne: I was just thinking about when we met and how there seemed to be an instant connection between us, don't you think so?
Wolfgang: Yes, there was...that's never happened to me before.
Roxanne: Me neither, that's why I was thinking about it. You are my best friend...I just want you to know that.
Wolfgang: You are my best friend, too.
Roxanne: And since we are so close, there is something I want to tell you.
Wolfgang: Oh...what is it?
Roxanne: *picks up her stack of letters that has been nearby* I've been getting these letters from a secret admirer.
Wolfgang: Oh...really? *squirms*
Roxanne: Yes, I have them all right here...well, except the last one, I seem to have misplaced it. These letters are some of my most treasured possessions.
Wolfgang: I see...why are you telling me this?
Roxanne: Because you're my best friend and I need help. I was hoping this person would tell me who he was, but in the last letter he said he would never reveal himself.
Wolfgang: Um...maybe he's embarrassed? *squirms more*
Roxanne: Possibly. But I'm really sad about it. I want to know who wrote these letters. I will never know what could have been if I don't find out. What do you think I should do?
Wolfgang: *long pause* I don't know what you should do, I'm sorry I'm not much help. *another long pause* Roxanne? There is something you should know...
Roxanne: What?
Wolfgang: *gulp* I...I wrote the letters.
Roxanne: I know you did.
Wolfgang: You did? But why didn't you just say so?
Roxanne: I wanted you to tell me yourself.
Wolfgang: Oh... *not sure what to say or do next*
Roxanne: Thank you for the letters. *kisses Wolfgang on the cheek*
Wolfgang: Please... *touches Roxanne's hand hesitantly* I have to know...is there even a chance we could be together?
Roxanne: Do you know why I treasure these letters? It's because I knew they were from you. So, yes. Yes, there is a chance...a good chance, don't you think?
*Wolfgang pulls Roxanne into his arms*
