The first one arrived in a most unusual manner. I have to admit that it did wonders to raise my spirits as he no doubt intended. I only wish I had thought of it first. I remember the day so clearly. It�s unlikely I�ll ever forget it. It had been an unusually rough day. Two missions had gone seriously awry and because of it I had to put two members of the team in abeyance. There was no doubt in my mind that this first act of being two steps away from ordering someone�s execution marked the beginning of a cold, lonely existence with no end in sight. I hated it, hated what I had given my word to do, but most of all I hated the deep empty ache of my heart that grew with each passing day.

My mood didn�t improve when I walked past ordnance and found myself waylaid by Walter and Jade who wanted to wish me a Happy Birthday. I don�t know how happy it was considering the fact that it only reminded me of another day in a place that I had sentenced myself to for life. Perhaps he somehow sensed what I was feeling for I�m convinced that without his wonderful surprise I would have turned into a bitter, cold, uncaring shell just to block out all the pain I was feeling every moment of every day.

Leaving the exuberant and cheerful Walter and Jade behind I decided a respite was in order to regain my perspective.

�Focus, Nikita.�

I can always hear his beautiful voice so clearly when my melancholia attempts to get the best of me.

Heading to my room, I walked in to find roses of every color, scattered from one corner of the room to the other. Startled at the transformation of my cold, stark living quarters it took me a minute to notice the large vase overflowing with red roses sitting on my end table by the bed. Walking over to it, I leaned down to inhale the heady scent and it was then that I noticed the thick white envelope laying next to it. My hands shook with apprehension and excitement when I realized who the packet might be from. It took me several minutes to calm down enough so that I could open the envelope. Sitting on my bed, I hastily ripped open the sealed flap and gently lifted out the thick sheets of unlined paper with neatly typed print filling every sheet. Closing my eyes in delighted surprise I took a deep, steadying breath. Finally, I opened my eyes and began to read what would be his first love letter to me.
