Its early morning and we arrive at Emma's apartment. She lives in an apartment in Boston, the largest city of the state of Massachusetts.
She is asleep.
Emma, 28, is a pretty girl, long golden hair and her smile as charming as her surname. Her bedroom is cozy, she has a queen-sized bed. her red jacket hangs a desk chair and her closed laptop is on the desk.
As Emma wakes up, her boyfriend Neal Bealfire walks into the room. wearing casual jeans and a plain grey t-shirt, carrying the Boston times newspaper
"Good Morning" she smiles at him
"Listen to this, the entire workforce of Boston have had solitaire removed from their computers, because they hadn't done any work in weeks"
Emma gets out of bed and goes into the bathroom, she shouts out to him
"Aren't you late"
"You know what this is? what we're seeing here? we're seeing an end to workers rights"
"This is so sad" She replies, rolling her eyes.
He checks the clock on the wall.
"I'm late" he shouts.
Emma walks out of the bathroom.
"I'll see you tonight at Henry's school's play right?" she asks
Henry is Emma and Neal's eleven year old son, he was a cute boy, his hair matching his eyes and is catching up to his parents in height pretty quickly. He had stayed at his grandparents house, a few blocks away the previous night, so Emma and Neal could have some time alone
"Yeah your see me there" he replies a bit hesitantly
"Great, Bye" Emma was a bit eager for him to leave today, as he closes the door, Emma tiptoes to the window to make sure he leaves and waits till he disappears from sight.
"He's gone, good" she mutters to herself.
She excitedly goes into her bedroom, sits at her desk, opens the laptop, enters her password waits in anticipation, clicks the mouse on the Boston online icon where she enters her username thesaviour password: Henrysmom and logs on.
Welcome to Boston online, the screen says and then she see's the three words she's been eagerly waiting for, you've got mail, she smiles to herself clicking on the read mail logo

The Apple tree is my favorite tree, it sits in my garden, it doesn't take to well to the harsher weather, but it has the most delicious red apples your ever taste. I would send you a basket full of them, if i knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.
Regina's p.o.v
Regina, a beautiful short-haired brunette woman, not much older than Emma. She stood in her kitchen, dressed in her black suit with white shirt, ready for work, she still had half hour before she had to leave.
She was the new mayor of Boston, she was a woman who showed no fear, but inside she was just as vulnerable as everybody else
"Regina" a voice echoed
"Hmm?"
It was Graham, a guy Regina worked with and had started seeing a month ago, it was nothing heavy, they were seeing where things went.
"I'm late" he said grabbing his coat.
"Remember we've got that dinner party tonight"
"Am I going?" she asked sarcastically.
"You promised"
"Can't I just give them money? I'm not in the mood to go"
Graham gave her a look.
"Alright, il go, you're late"
"I know, i'm going" he huffs and tears off, out the door, slamming behind him.
Regina waits to hear him driving off and goes into her study, which has luxurious items, since landing the job as mayor she can buy all the luxurious items she wants
She sits at her oak desk, turns on her computer and logs on, she see's the words welcome to Boston online and then see's you've got mail, she starts to read the letter in her head
I like to start my notes to you as if we're already in the middle of a conversation. I pretend that we're the oldest and dearest friends, even though we don't actually know each others names and met online where we both claimed we've never been before
What will you say today I ask myself, as I turn on my laptop and wait impatiently, I go online and my breath catches in my chest, until I see those three words, you've got mail. All I can hear is my heart beating in my chest and all I see, is I have mail. From you.
Emma's P.O.V an hour after reading her mail
As Emma walked through downtown, which is Boston's center of business and government and combines with the Boston Common and the Public Garden to form a dynamic downtown. Downtown also serves as a sanctuary for shoppers, offering everything from large department stores to cozy boutiques.
This is where Emma worked, she worked in parents cozy bookstore, the wallpaper was a bit outdated, but still it had its charm. her parents, parents owned the store and passed it down to them and they wanted to pass it on to Emma.
As she comes near to the store, she stops at the news stand, it is quite busy today, kids running by, cars beeping their horns. She says good morning and As she pays for the magazine, in the background, Regina is walking down the street, heading straight towards the news stand.
"Thanks" Emma says, as she walks off heading for the bookshop, which is a few shops away.
A few moments later Regina stops at the same news stand, she buys all the different types of newspaper.
Meanwhile Emma is getting ever closer to her work, she stops at her favorite coffee shop, the temptation gets the better of her and she goes in and orders her favourite drink, she picks it up and walks out smiling to herself
As she turns left and walks off, Regina walks in to the same coffee shop, this is also her favorite coffee shop and she orders her favorite drink, to take away
