The day returns to normal. Where everyday starts with the same old morning routine. Brushing your teeth, taking a shower, getting dressed and having breakfast. Sam Foster returned to his normal everyday regime, but a part of him wanted to know if she would reply to him back?
Meanwhile the person who wrote the letter initially visited the library one day and was surprised to find a new letter instead of her old one. She was more shocked to find that someone was actually replying to it. Her name was Janet and she was an English teacher at a local high-school and was a big fan of literature.
She was in awe with the book she was reading, and just for own purposes wrote the letter out of a character flow. It was done as a joke but she never thought someone would read it or take her letter seriously. Being a literature enthusiast Sam's reply was in a way interesting for her. She found his writing style unique and catchy and wanted to read more. She thought for a while and decided to role play as the character because of sheer excitement. So, she wrote back a letter for Sam who went by Mr S in his letter. She buried it deep inside the book, hoping that Mr S (Sam) would find it, if he's curious enough to roll play his character to the end.
Sam on the other hand couldn't just stay out of business for a long time. So there he was, back to being the face of Passion Industries. And he was going about his daily routine and almost completely forgot about that letter. Weeks went by and he almost completely forgot about that letter incident. Until one day when he had to travel to the countryside for a promo event for their latest handbag series. They were launching at a new location and he was extremely excited about it. As expected it was a successful launch and the event was wrapped within the expected time. Call it fate or coincidence that on his way back home, his car broke down in the middle of the road as smoke came running down the bonnet.
He was with his driver and was frustrated at the scene. His driver noticed his discomfort and went out to try to solve the issue, while Sam was getting agitated since the ac was not working. He got out of his car and decided to take a walk until the issue was resolved. It was a remote place and he was enjoying the scenic view. That's when he recognised the road and just out of curiosity decided to check the book again. But upon entering the place he couldn't find it. He asked the librarian but he couldn't find it either. Sam relentlessly searched the entire book shelf with books on the same genre and after a thorough search, he was finally able to find the book placed at a different section of the bookshelf. His face lit up with a smile after finding it. He opened the book, hoping to find a letter. And sure enough the other person replied back to his letter. Sam gave out a faint smile, which was noticed by the librarian as well.
The mystery girl wrote;
Dear Mr. S,
I must admit, your reply caught me off guard. I never imagined that someone would read that letter as I did it for fun. However I found your thoughts on this matter a bit interesting. Let's call this fate as we two strangers with different opinions on the idea came face to face.
You asked what we might do if you were my prince charming. Would we escape reality or carve out a quiet corner of our own? I'd say why not both? Let's rewrite the story and create a world where the lines between fantasy and reality blur.
You call love unrealistic, but isn't it the most wonderful fantasy of all? It's fleeting, imperfect yet it has the power to color even the dullest of lives. Maybe, just maybe, it's worth believing in.
Now, if you were to be my Prince charming what would you do to win the heart of your beloved. Let's play the role, shall we?
Yours truly,
Lady J.
Sam read it with great excitement and joy. For the first time in a long while, he felt the thrill of something new and unpredictable. He had been with many exciting people but she seemed more interesting to him than any soul on earth. With this newly found inspiration he folded the letter and ran to his car to fetch a pen and paper. With a sense of pure delight and visible smile on his face, he drafted his response but not as the CEO but rather a common man with the fictional character called Mr S. As it turned out, Sam wanted to be a writer, but he wasn't particularly good at writing or keeping his audience engaged. So he was excited to have a connection to it. He carefully drafted his letter and put it back inside the book, placing it where it belonged. Hoping that she will read it.
