To: Nadine Wilcock From: Mel Fuller Subject: My suspension Now, now, it won't be that bad. I'm sort of looking forward to it. I haven't had any time off in a quite a while. It will give Paco and I a chance to bond again. And God knows I haven't visited Mrs. Friedlander in the hospital for ages and ages. Not that she's noticed, I'm sure, but still, I feel guilty about it...even if it does turn out she's not going to be my aunt-in-law. Really, don't worry about me. I'm fine. Honest. Mel To: Don and Beverly Fuller From: Mel Fuller Subject: Hi! I was just wondering if you knew if there were any openings at the Duane County Register. You mentioned once that you thought Mabel Flemming would be interested in hiring me as their Arts and Entertainment writer. I've been thinking a lot about it, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm really sick of the city, and would like to come home for a while. Could you let me know if Mabel still needs someone? Thanks. Mel PS Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Really. To: Mel Fuller From: Don and Beverly Fuller Subject: Honey, do you mean it? You're really thinking about coming home? Oh, Daddy and I just couldn't be more delighted. I mean, it was all well and good for you to go to the big city and try to prove yourself, but the fact is, you've done that. Now it's time for you to think about settling down, and Daddy and I are just tickled pink that you want to do it back here in good old Lansing. And I don't want you to think we aren't cosmopolitan, because you know just the other day they opened up a Big Kmart! Can you believe that? A Big Kmart, right here in Lansing. Anyway, good news: I called Mabel up right away and asked her if she still needed an

Arts and Entertainment writer, and she said, "Heck, yeah!" The job is yours, if you want it. The pay's not much--only $12,000 a year. But honey, if you lived at home, you could just save all that, and then use it as a down payment on your own house when you finally do get married. Oh, I am just pleased as punch. Do you want Daddy and I to drive out and pick you up? Dr. Greenblatt said we could use his minivan to haul all your things back in. Wasn't that nice? You just let me know when you want to come home, and we'll come get you lickety-split! Oh, honey, we love you so much, and can't wait to see you! Mommy and Daddy To: Mel Fuller From: Nadine Wilcock Subject: Are you sure you're all right? You just didn't seem yourself last night. I mean, I know you aren't too thrilled with this suspension thing, and the whole John thing still has you down.... But you seemed more out of it than usual at the fittings yesterday. It's not because you totally hate your dress, is it? Because it's not too late to pick out new ones.... Missing you, Nad To: Nadine Wilcock From: Mel Fuller Subject: Are you kidding? Everything's great. Today I took a two hour bubble bath, then watched Rosie, and did my nails, and took Paco out, then gave myself a pedicure, and watched the afternoon movie, then took Paco out, and read the entire September Vogue (all 1600 pages) and ate a box of Ring Dings and took Paco out.... I'm having a blast! But thanks for asking. Mel PS Did any flowers come from John today?
