That's sweet. Seems I came in a little late. I can easily imagine it, because I once had a marriage proposal from a resident of one of the seniors' homes where I worked.

    Thank you so much, Cindy. This is the companion article to "To My Secret Admirer." These two articles will run in tandem until Christmas Eve Eve. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this one.

Seems like they are meant for each other with both writing sweet nonets to each other! I found it funny that he first mentions how she shows mercy and then says later, "have you no mercy?" colloquially. It shows how completely natural and unrehearsed his writing is.

I really don't know how to reply to this write. It reaches out to someone who is fascinated by a person with deep blue eyes. The wording is strong.
unabashed and unafraid. Interesting sentence. I find nothing wrong with this. Yes, I am well, just been occupied elsewhere. Working on something to post in a day or two. Best to you Sal.

    I'm glad you are staying with this love story in two parts. It takes place in a Baptist hospital. Love Letter on a Clipboard was the first article, a man professing his love for a nurse named Kristin Spencer's. He, the secret admirer, leaves her love letters on her clipboard. She writes back to him and leaves loves letters to him addressed in the companion article, "To My Secret Admirer." She leaves them on the clipboard as well, since she doesn't know his identity yet. They have a date for Christmas Eve Eve and will be the ending of my stories. It will blow your doors off, so stay tuned, Mr. Collder. I think you'll love it.
    Thanks so much for the wonderful review and generous six stars. It is esteemed and appreciated, Ben.
    Sending you my best today as always,
    Sally :)

Oh, yeah, now I know this is certainly a fictional interaction!! I cannot imagine a guy (at least the scientists/computer geeks/military men I've interacted with) EVER writing a nonet... especially not one with those phrasings...LOL!! ;) A lovely installment to their fairy tale interactions, Lady Sal, I look forward to the 'designs' on the blue tie she picks out for him!! ;) Yvette

    Now, now, Jackson broke out in a Nonet yesterday. It was so adorable, I think I'll require an emergency bat phone or something. Reviving romance one Nonet at a time. So glad you enjoyed this and thanks so much for staying a true blue friend.

A merry Monday to you Sally, thank you for this latest installment of Love letter on a clipboard. While I'm sure this kind of love still exists somewhere I appreciate the convenience of reading about it here because finding or hearing about that kind of love in this day and age would be a daunting task. lol great job!

    Look no further than Sally Law. I love this kind of love every day. My husband and I had a long courtship and to our friends amazement, still love and adore each other after all these years. Our 44th wedding anniversary approaches in December. I'm so pleased you've tuned in and are staying with me. I wish this for you, dear poet. Keep your heart open.

Sally I believe you are a hopeless romantic. Love the letters and the nonet.
Just looking forward to the meeting. He wants a blue tie to match the blue of Kristin's eyes. How romantic.
Sylvia

    I am a hopeless romantic with a hopeful outlook. I had a long courtship with my husband and we wrote love letters continuously. Still do. I put love notes in his lunch and he leaves me love notes if he leaves the house before I'm up.

    I am so pleased you're enjoying my back and forth love stories and always look forward to your reviews.

A very lovely love letter, Sally. No wonder Jackson loves you very much. Anyone with the flair to convey the heart with words can capture the wind. I also love your Nonet. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you, Jose. I'm sure your wife loves you just as much. Jackson and I had a long courtship and wrote many love letters back and forth. I made him most of his cards by hand and enclosed poems and made up stories. If we want to laugh until we cry, we take them out and read them aloud. To say I've grown in my poetry is an understatement. I'm so honored by your wonderful review and kindest compliments. It means so much.

This is yet another fine addition to a well penned romance saga. The one things that concerned me a little was his reference as the tie to 'remember' her which makes me think either he is dying or this relationship is not meant to last for other reasons. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Well done Sally, you are quite obviously an incurable romantic, (don't Tell anyone but so am I) this is superbly written my friend. A story and love letter generated from the nonet, which is likewise superb, a most beautifully written letter spurred by an equally beautiful nonet, well done, blessings, Roy

This letter is another lovely addition to the romantic dialog by clipboard attachments.

Kristin's secret admirer begins with a New Testament quote about love, which also reveals that, like her, he is a Bible-reading Christian. This is a favorable data-point, as it suggests commonality of faith.

His appreciation of Kristin's sense of humor is also a positive sign.

His awareness of her reading War and Peace to Captain Lewis, along with admission that he utilizes "bribed" assistants, indicates both his proximity and that he is not personally placing his letters on her clipboard. This appears to rule out all of her male associates as her mysterious correspondent.

He praises her trust and openness, then teases her about his possibly being different from the impression he has been making before going back to praising her endearing qualities.

Apparently, he is both amused by her frugality and accepting of her gift of a silk tie in blue as a reminder of the color of her eyes.

Clearly, he liked Kristin's nonet enough to write one of his own in reply.

His reference to his "circumstances" suggests he is a patient, not staff; but, in his first letter, he had mentioned a possible career change, which also could be what he is referring to.

He empathizes with her upcoming surgery and resultant recovery regime as being familiar to him. This harks back to when she first saw him.

Revealing that he is an artist and is painting a picture of her as a gift for her parents is both a loving gesture and another clue to his identity.

His Nonet fits both his praise of Kristin's eyes and the apt illustration. (Of course you wrote it, as you are author of the entire series. You are right to credit yourself in the Notes, so no one will think you plagiarized it from somewhere else.)

Finally, the quotation in the postscript is a wise comment on true love.

Superb.

    Dear Mike, thank you. I appreciate your kind reviews always. I love to get feedback from a man's perspective. Jackson loved this one but he is in love with me so it's hard to tell if I'm getting an accurate report. Thanks for the detailed and helpful feedback. I am, again, deeply honored and blessed with a wonderful shower of stars and kind compliments. Thank you!
