Kevin was on his way to bed when he thought to check his email. His heart fluttered when he saw that she had left a message. As he read it he became more and more clear that this woman shared the same feelings and desires that he had. He knew he had found a kindred spirit.
" I must admit that it so much easier to spill out my heart to someone who has no face and no history. My friends would laugh at me if I expressed my inner most thoughts to them. You see on the outside I come off as being extremely well bred and confidant, but on the inside, hidden where no one can discover it, hides my insecure and longing side. Are you a very confident person on the outside? I have come to my own conclusion and it is that I believe that the people who look the most confident are usually the ones who are hiding from their true feelings, they put up a front and don't let anyone see the vulnerable side of them.
I want to ask you so many questions but I am afraid to pry. I must run but I hope I will hear from you soon.
Yours,
Paging Dr. Lonely

"Hi Mikey...." Skylar looked up from her work and smiled at her favorite visitor. "How was school today?"
Mikey's face turned into a sad frown "Skylar the kids make fun of my clothes, they say they are old men clothes and that I probably got them from a garbage can" Mikey started to cry. Skylar took the little boy's hand and walked with him over to the couch in her office. She sat down beside him.
"Mikey when I was growing up I always had hand me downs, I had older sisters and I always got their old clothes. The kids teased me and made me cry but I learned something, clothes don't make a person, what's inside the person counts. Whenever the kids tease you, hold your head up high and smile, if you let them see that they aren't bothering you, they will leave you alone. " Skylar wiped the tears form his eyes and smiled "Mikey you are a wonderful little boy, be proud of who you are, don't ever let anyone make you feel sad." Skylar handed Mikey a chocolate bar "Do you feel better now?"
"You always make me feel better, I tell mommy every night that you are my best friend."
Skylar felt the tears start to collect in her eyes, she hugged the little boy tightly "Thank you Mikey, you just made my day"
Her phone rang and she smiled when she saw the name on her screen "Hey you, what's up?"
"Have you been reading the list lately? Someone has been responding to your emails, you know the personal ones."
"I know, it is so strange, I logged on the other day and his message appeared. He writes such magical words, I reread the first one about a hundred times, god Kim why can't I meet a guy like this."
"He is either really ugly, gay or a serial killer" Kim Ann joked, snapping Skylar back to reality.
"Huh??"
"Think about it, if he is such a wonderful catch why hasn't somebody snared him yet?"
"We are wonderful catches and we are still single" Skylar pointed out.
"Whatever, maybe now but the minute Howie sees me he will beg me to turn him into a man," Kim Ann laughed.
"You are crazy I swear, no wonder your co-workers tease you so much. I have to go girl...call me tonight or I will be on line."
Skylar sank back in her chair and her mind wandered to Kevin, she had
always
been attracted to Howie but when she had seen Kevin up close she could
hardly breathe. She had never been one to be star struck but he had
definitely left her with a lasting impression.
