That night, Emmely slept like a baby. Apparently, her body, mind, and soul missed her home so much, that when she went back, her heart was filled with so much happiness.
Even though she couldn't find any more unwashed shirts of her husband, at least she could still smell a bit of his scent in their bed. Gosh.. she missed him so badly!
She read his letters over and over again. They were short letters. Since Mars couldn't risk his letters being read by other people on the way to reach Emmelyn, he only wrote down simple information about where he was currently, what he was doing there, and his wish for her to stay healthy and happy.
However, even though the letters were short, Emmelyn loved them. She read those letters over and over again, while imagining her husband's face.
It felt good. She would write back and send a bit of news that she was doing fine and she missed him.
