Chapter 3 - Gifts?

Alice was enjoying her letters. When his next one came, she opened it. "Dear Alice, unsure if you can see, but a guitar would be lovely, something that means something to you or out your spin on it, so I have something of you with me here. We just set up camp, and the sunsets make me think of you. I am glad I got to take so many pictures for you; I have loved it; Love, Arlo" She smiles and rushes off and gets a black electric guitar and everything to go with it she t. She took the strings off and picked up all the sunset pictures he took and slowly placed them on the guitar with a picture of her to finish it off, and she put the strings back on and put it in a case, and mailed it off to him. Arlo was eating. He sighed. "I miss steak," he mumbled and sighed. "Arlo, you got something at the PX. Go get it," James said. Arlo stood up and went. He smiled. Seeing the box, he drove back and walked into his tent, and opened it. He opened the letter first. "Hope this gets to you safely and also hope you like it. I have been thinking about you a lot lately and can't wait for you to come home. Love Alice." he opened it and saw the guitar. He smiled, touching it softly and seeing all the pictures he had taken and the pictures of her. He smiles happily. James nudges him. "Glad to see you smile again, man," he said. Arlo shoves him and plays his guitar happily. He wrote a song and recorded it for her, and mailed it off to her. The mail to Alice was late, and she was walking back and forth outside her dorm room the mail lady handed her the letter. She takes it. "Thank you," she says and rushes off and opens it. She sees the recording and blushes. She puts it on her laptop and presses play. She sees all his tattoos for the first time. He starts to sing a beautiful love song. Alice was trying not to cry listing to it. She smiles. Ultimately, he puts his guitar down and looks at the camera. "Thank you, Alice, for giving me something to fight for, having someone I can picture I want safe. Knowing I am doing what I can to ensure your life and your being wonderful is more important to me than you could know. Enjoy your day, love Arlo. "The recording stopped.
