“What is this?” he whispered. He bent over, grabbed it, and moved back to his bed. After laying his back once again against the bed's head, he started examining it. The ink had faded out, giving off the feeling that someone had read this letter many times in the past. It was difficult to make out even a single word from this weathered paper, but only a couple of them where enough for Jack to understand.

“Dear Anne,” Jack read it out loud. Who is this Anne? He continued reading. “Hmm... arrived... the war is harsh... I miss you... be careful…” and it was going on and on. Near the end, he was able to clearly distinguish the stains that tears had made over the rough paper.

“What are you doing?” a woman's voice came from the other side of the room, close to where the door was. Jack raised his head slowly and saw the now dressed dancer watching him with her hands in front of her chest.

“I found this on the floor,” he replied. The woman rushed to his side and savagely pulled the weathered piece of paper from his hands.

“You shouldn't stick your nose to other people's business. Do you understand?” she raged at him. Before he was able to reply to her, the upset woman was already heading towards the door. However, when she was almost out of the room, Jack had an unprecedented idea.

“Anne?” The sound of that name made her froze still. Unable to move or talk back to him, she was now staring at the floor. Seemingly, she wanted to say something to explain her reaction, but she thought that it was better to just leave the room.

Now, that was weird. She was the girl from the letter, Jack thought. But, why didn't she say a thing? And why is she working as a prostitute if she is waiting for someone? Somehow he knew that there was only one logical explanation. “He died during the war,” he said.

Before he was able to change his mind, he grabbed his boots and put them on. I have to learn more about her, and he knew exactly the person for that. He hastily moved downstairs and found the restless barman talking to one of the men that Jack had been gambling with last night. He walked towards the bar and the two men greeted him.

“Good morning young lad. Is there something I can do for you?” For his own reasons, the barman was looking undeniably happy. This must be because I spent so much money last night in this shithole. This also means he is still sweetened by the cash and he will probably answer my questions easier.

“Mornin',” Jack replied monotonously. Abruptly, now that he thought about it once again, he was too ashamed to talk about her in front of the stranger man. So, he devised a different way to make his questions.

“Do you know anything about someone named Anne? I think she is working here,” Jack asked, hoping that the barman would pick up on his discretion and reply with discretion himself.
