Dear Charlotte,
Sorry, it’s been a while. I’ve attached a photo of my hotel room to make up for it! They were going to figure out how to get me into the apartment they initially rented for me, but I just got a message telling me I can stay in this room until the end of my project. Fuck yeah!I’ve been going to the campus quite a lot, and it’s HUGE. Also met my project partners and a few participants. It’s overwhelming, but it feels good to be here.
It’s funny you mentioned my kinks. I wasn’t gonna go there until at least the 7th lesson, but I can definitely skip the rest and introduce you to all the possibilities. And yeah, you better be a good student.
When it comes to any bullshit Shaky is making up about me—I plead the fifth. You can prove NOTHING.

Dear Riley,
Please don’t apologize for taking your time. I know you’re busy and I trust you’ll just message me when it’s convenient for you. Just like you meant it to be. The room looks fabulous! I can’t help but be a little jealous. I bet you sleep on that king size mattress splayed out like a starfish?
About your lesson plan—let’s actually just start with the first one. Maybe some idioms, traditions, rules? I know Gabi has a doormat in the shape of a rainbow, but when I asked her about it, she said that it isn't mandatory to acquire the queer membership card. I was scared to ask her any more questions.
You can try to save your own ass from Shaky’s betrayal all you want, but I actually just found his ear piece. You’re fucked.

Dear Charlie,
I knew I shouldn’t have underestimated your detective skills. I still own up to nothing though, you’ll have to torture a confession out of me. And as we both know, I’m pretty fucking tough.
Yes to the starfish, by the way. But only when I sleep alone.
Do you have time for a Zoom on the 5th? I have some free time around my 7.00 PM, your 1.00 PM. Let me know if that works?
