am interested in speaking with you on several levels. Only one is personal. I’m working on a serious project, and your help would provide a most valuable influence towards the outcome.
    My car is at the airport. Please, let me drive you to the resort, so we can talk, and you can understand the circumstances. I promise you – the information I’ll share will change your perspective on the situation.
     
    Sincerely,
    Dr. Antonio Dominguez PhD.
                Antonio folded the paper over once, not wanting to provoke anyone. He asked the flight attendant to deliver the message to Amanda; assuring her that it was a simple hello to an old friend he had spotted. The attendant smiled, agreeing to deliver it for him.
                The messenger interrupted Amanda’s reading as she handed her the piece of paper.
                Receiving a letter on a plane was strange. She read the signature first. Dr. Antonio Dominguez, PhD. He had introduced himself officially as an anthropologist. While she had guessed at his field of work, it was nice to be reminded that her intuition had been correct. Questions flooded her mind as she began to read.
                Realizing he must be on the plane following her, she surmised Antonio must live somewhere near Santa Fe. His claims seemed outrageous. He needed her help with a serious matter, mystical in nature?
                Was he lying? No. Tommy and Max spoke very highly of him. At the restaurant, she ascertained that he was trustworthy. She trusted her innate ability to fathom out the good and bad within people, and others often remarked that she seemed to know who to trust in any situation. One of the reasons she was leaving Vegas was due to her own instinctive need to put distance between what he made her feel, and what she felt. How could she deny his request? Her rational self argued that it was impossible; she couldn’t be with this man without falling for him.
                She boarded the plane in Vegas to get away from him, and now, everything changed. His explanation might prove important. All of her life, and even more sharply in the past year, she had known she had a strong connection with senses others did not use.  Not since her youth had she spoken of it, being laughed at and teased had taught her to hide her natural abilities.
                It was not in her soul to refuse his request so she agreed to listen. It would be easier, if she did not have the overwhelming urge to touch him. She would meet with him, and listen on all levels, before providing her final answer.
    Dear Antonio,
    I will listen to what you have to say. Please understand, I am feeling a great deal of concern regarding the implications of your letter. Despite all of this, you have intrigued me. My curiosity insists that I hear you out.
    Surely, there is a coffee shop in Santa Fe. It seems you know the area well, so I assume you can find one.
    There, you are welcome to explain your circumstances over a nice Mocha. I like Mocha best. Our conversation will determine whether you will drive me to the resort, or not.
    Sincerely,
    Amanda Messenger
                The attendant delivered the answer back to Antonio. Reading the message, he chuckled. Even in her letter, she spoke with perfect, academic articulation, without a single contraction.
                Her terms didn’t surprise him at all. The sense of humor she inserted about liking Mocha intrigued him. It confirmed her as the type of woman that he believed her to be. She wanted a coffee shop. No doubt it had to be organic, her comfort was important.
                They could go to the coffeehouse on Zafarrano Drive. The shop was also an Art Gallery, and Antonio felt confident Amanda was an art lover, based on her artsy personality.
                He felt a victory, having secured the opportunity to talk to her. Now, he felt obligated to convey the
