Dear Mum,
Just a quick note to ask you for a bit of advice. I’m quite worried about Sharon and
l just don't know what to do.
She came round a few weeks ago to tell me that she’d been on a date with Paul
Regan, 1) an old flame of hers from university. Now, l don’t know if you remember
him, but Ido - he 2) stole her heart at the beginning of her first year and she was
convinced that she’d met 3) the man of her dreams. For a while it seemed that he
was 4) head over heels in love with her too, but then, all of a sudden, at the end of
her second year, he told her he never wanted to see her again and 5) broke her heart.
Anyway, it seems that he’s had 6) a change of heart, but ljust don’t trust him. She
says she's not interested in him, but quite obviously she is. She can’t hide the way she
feels - you know how she 7) wears her heart on her sleeve. I know Sharon and l
haven’t always 8) seen eye to eye on a lot of matters, but she is my sister and l do
care about her. What worries me is that the same thing might happen again.
I know 9) all’s fair in love and war, but as I said, I don’t want to watch her go
through it all over again. Could you talk to her, please?
Love,
Brenda
