Hey Sam,

I haven’t heard from you in a while. Do I need to tell Jack to drag you out of your lab? What can be more important than typing up a quick e-mail to your ‘kid sister’ in college?

Anyway.

Kurt. I got to spar with him. Heart-pitter-patter. He is good. Not good enough to withstand someone taught by Murray and Jack, but still good. I won the match. Part of me wanted to throw the match so that I wouldn’t hurt his ego, and then your voice (and Murray’s and Jack’s) said, “NO!” I’m good at hand-to-hand and there is no reason not to try my hardest. Actually, I think he respects me more because I did. We had coffee together. He is so sweet. He talked about his sister, Helen, a lot. I guess she was one of Buffy’s students. (Buffy’s a self-defense teacher. I think you’d like her if you two got together sometime.) Kurt misses Helen so much. What do you say to a guy in mourning?

You could write me with advice. Dawn thinks that just listening is good enough for now. But what do you think?

(Hint, Hint)

Write back soon,
Love,
Cassie
