Subject: Thank you for your donation but…
Dear friend,
We appreciate your support in our endeavor to help the Southern Rockhopper Penguins, but there’s still so much more that needs to be done. Please be the voice that we need to spread the word about these beautiful creatures.
We would be forever grateful if you could share your story about your connection with the penguins and encourage others to step up like you have.
The Rockhoppers are counting on you.
Sincerely,
JP Cane
Everly:Hey Hardy, you there? I sent you a few emails and didn’t hear back, so I wanted to check in with you and make sure everything was okay. Also, I got another email from JPasking for donations. I caved, now I’m on an email-a-day basis with him. How bad would it be if I block his email?
Everly:From your lack of response, I’m going to guess pretty bad.
Everly:Okay, not blocking him, but just checking in…did you block me?
Sitting at my desk, I stare down at my phone as I slowly nod my head as reality hits me.
Yup, I think he blocked me.
It’s the only explanation.
That or he’s been abducted.
Or his fingers were chopped off.
Gasp!
What if he lost his fingers in a farming accident?
What if the guy who took the pitchfork to the butt was out for revenge and got Hardy’s fingers stuck in some sort of almond machine and Hardy lost all his fingers?
He could be laid up in a hospital bed right now.
Or…
More likely, he could be busy with Maple because I did my undercover work so well, and now they’re back together, and the last thing he wants to do is talk to me because he’s wrapped up in a wonderful second chance romance.
He’s too busy walking through the zoo with her.
He’s too busy taking her to The Beard and sharing a chocolate cake with her.
He’s too busy buying matching shirts…
Oh God, cue the tears.
Wouldtheyget matching shirts? I mean, why wouldn’t they? There would be no reason for them not to. They’re a couple; therefore, they would have matching shirts.
