In the meantime, she's gotten into computers and programming and I think she's probably become quite a hacker. (I still know just enough to use the word processor and database and spreadsheet and sometimes get the modem to send stories to magazines or my publisher; Penny's been a big help with that).
On the other hand, it's also meant I had to learn how to encrypt some files – like this little diary – so she can never get into them. I shudder to think what would happen if that imp ever got into this file! Fortunately, the security on this file is totally unbreakable.
Hi, honey!
Penny showed me how to read this. It's really sweet that you thought about me like that right from the start, from the first time we met. I figured at first you started liking me only after you and I and Bonnie made love that first time. Now I know that wasn't the start for you. It wasn't for me, either. I was fantasizing about you from the first time we met. I used to pump Kate for information about you and always made her promise never to tell a soul.
And I never would have known if Penny hadn't showed me this. I'm so grateful to her that I couldn't refuse her that one request. It'll be a surprise for you.
Love you, honey!
Irene
"Unbreakable"? Hah!
And just for calling me "shrimp," why don't you call one of those Bulletin Boards I told you about – the one in Brooklyn at 718-252-4531 – and download (if you can remember how!) a little story called BONNIE1.ZIP. The writing's not bad, but the spelling sucked – until a certain Language Wizard (she said, with no false modesty) fixed it up (and replaced most – but not all – of the names). Maybe you'll get better if you practice Scrabble some more.
By the way, "Uncle Dan," guess who's, uh, cumming for (her birthday) dinner?
Love ya', stud!
Penny
