    Summary

    "Therese reached behind her and pulled out a thick sheaf of what appeared to be folded sheets of writing paper, tied in a ribbon. “'These are for you, finally.'”

    The letters Therese writes to Carol, between their first meeting and their road trip. Referenced in and follows immediately after my story "The Longest Day, Getting Here." Referenced of course "The Price of Salt," though we get just a few lines from them. Movie timeline/canon, book canon for more details. Events from "Holding Hands" also referenced.

    ETA: And if you're wondering if Carol would respond, well, yes, yes she would.

    "In class they would hold hands under the desk, in the library they would exchange murmurs or written words, at night they would talk for hours and sometimes one of them would join the other in bed. "

    Or it is 1879, an all-girls boarding school and Therese meets Carol.
