The postcard slid through the mail slot, a jolt of energy surging through John. His pen pal, Michael, was visiting! He'd been trading letters with Michael for years, and now, finally, he was coming to see him. He felt light and buoyant. He started to make plans immediately.

He cleaned his entire apartment, making sure everything was perfect. He chose a local coffee shop. The day crept by slowly, but soon it was time.

He saw Michael walk in, and a thrill went through him. "Michael!" he called out.

Michael turned, a wide smile breaking across his face. “John! It's so great to finally meet you!” John felt a surge of pure delight. He could barely stand still.
