This is probably going to sound weird, but I’ve always been a champion of honesty and keeping it real. My sister and I made a bet. She doesn’t believe men in prison, who are rehabilitated and on a better path, deserve a second chance with life, friendship, or romance. I disagree. To prove her wrong, I agreed to join this pen pal program to find a good friend or true love. Now I don’t know about the love thing. I don’t see myself falling in love with a man in prison… not because he’s in prison but because he’s not accessible to me. I am a well taken care of woman. I’m used to a particular type of love, service, and lifestyle, and I don’t think a man locked up can provide that for me. Friendship, however, is something I am looking forward to. Not just because I want to prove my sister wrong, but also because I love connecting with new people. Admittedly, I am familiar with your family… not so much you personally. I saw you around the way a lot, but we never got close enough to speak. So, when I saw your profile pop up, I felt… comfort. It was like I knew someone, though I don’t know you. Gosh. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, I’m rambling now, so I’m going to stop. I hope you’re well in there and that we can become friends. Mercedes, Damn! Seeing a paired match with you felt like a nigga getting drafted as the number one pick. I appreciate your honesty and will gladly let you use me to win this bet. If I may be honest with you, we can do the friend thing, but I want more. I’m aware of who you are as well, though we’ve never connected personally. I know your father, and he made it clear his daughters were off limits to men like me. If you want to honor his desire for you, I can respect that, but if you want to choose your man for yourself… I’m happy to pursue you and stake my claim. You mentioned being used to a certain lifestyle, love, and service and that being the reason you wouldn’t want to date a man that’s locked down. I feel you. You’ll learn this for yourself in due time, but I’m not the average man. If you were to let me know what you require, we can talk about how willing I am to meet those needs. I usually prefer taking the lead, but for you… I am more than willing to make an exception. Noah Gabriel, You’re cute. I appreciate the opportunity to lead. My sister doesn’t care about our parents desire for us to not date men in the streets. It’s funny because she dates hood niggas that aren’t about shit but she had a prejudice against men in prison. Our father gives her a hard time about it, but at the end of the day, he loves us and allows us the grace to make our own decisions. You would be different because you’re… Noah Gabriel. You’re on a completely different level. It’s out of my respect for him that I haven’t dated a man in the streets seriously in a while. He wants me to eventually join the secret society as an active member, not just be a part of one of the founding families, so I can’t move as carelessly as she can. If I was to be with a man in the streets, I would have to give up that opportunity to be in the secret society, and I don’t know if I want to do that just yet. Truthfully, my life is good as is, but I don’t know. I might wake up ten years
