Dear Ellie,                                                                                     July 6, 2016

Happy (late) Canada Day! That was the first of July, right? Sorry you guys didn't want to be British anymore ; ) At least you guys were polite about it, unlike the Americans.

I must say, what little I have learned about hockey, I am immensely proud of your brother's team for winning the Stanley Cup Championship. Perhaps this is just secondhand pride, but I am so happy for him and you! I just wish I could be there to celebrate : ( sorry princess.

Speaking of hockey, I'm glad to see the Riveters are doing better. Perhaps now that their 'mystery owner' has left the country you guys don't feel as much pressure, being watched from up above. If they only knew how little I understood the sport! But I'm learning, slowly but surely, I am learning the rules of hockey. Like, I just learned what the blue line was for; now I get why you defencemen (or should I say defencewomen?) are called blue liners. Because you stay on the blue line when in the offensive zone, so you can scurry back to protect your goal if the play switches sides. (Right?)

I can't wait for you to visit in a few weeks! I have met so many new people I can't wait to introduce you to, and show off my professional athlete girlfriend (I'm joking, you know that right?).It doesn't matter to me your occupation, but I am so proud that you have something you're passionate about. I'd feel bad if you were just sitting at home, waiting for me to return. Or still working at that bookstore. You certainly seemed out of place there, though it was truly serendipitous we met that night. Imagine if you hadn't gotten injured in that game and continued playing hockey...we would never have met that night after my concert, when Louis and I wanted to find a book. I don't know, but (and maybe I'm just saying this because I really miss you?) I think our paths would have crossed one way or another at some point. I'm not quite sure how, though, since I don't think I would have randomly chosen to go to a women's hockey game (sorry) and I don't see you coming to one of my concerts....so maybe we met by chance. You were walking your dog after practice with the Riveters, and I was blindly walking out of a coffee shop, a cup of hot coffee in my hands, when I tripped over your dog and spilled hot coffee all over myself. You apologized in that cute way Canadians say 'sorry' and insisted on buying me another coffee, while I peeled my coffee-stained shirt off my scalded skin and pretended it didn't hurt like hell while insisting it was my fault. (did I just write an AU fan-fiction about us? Oops)

I know I promised myself I wouldn't think about it while filming, but I can't wait to get back into the studio! And not just because I'm spending every day here in the ocean, fully clothed, trying not to drown. No, I miss getting to strum my guitar lazily as I come up with a song, and trying to work out lyrics. I have so many ideas floating around in my head; I admit, quite a few of them have to do with you. I just miss you, that's all. And I keep rethinking everything in our relationship and all our inside jokes (I still have that Anne of Green Gables book with me, and think of you whenever I see it). Mostly, I just can't wait to fall asleep next to you again. Sleeping alone is quite lonely.

Yesterday I messed up this one thing like five times, and each time I had to dry off and get into dry clothes. I felt so bad making the crew and other actors wait while we reset just because I'd messed up, but I finally got it! I hope that part makes it into the film, would kinda suck if it didn't, after all that. Filming is still quite intense, and sometime (I'm not sure when) we're changing location. Eventually we will wrap up filming in LA, I think, but that's not for a long while.

I know I've told you this, but I really did like meeting your family. Your brother and I text occasionally, we exchange funny memes and whatever. However, that got me thinking... do you and my sister text??? I'd ask her, but I know she wouldn't give me a straight answer. She probably has some embarrassing pictures of me she'd love to share with you.... : (

Love,

Your very damp soldier

PS. not to sound vain or anything, but did you ever listen to the last 1D album? The one we were finishing up when we started dating? If not, you should check out I want to write you a song....




A/N: I don't think Harry wrote that song, but I'm going to pretend he did : ) I heard that song recently and thought it felt so perfect!
