New Fic: Blythe's Story Chapter Seven (Letters 1965)

Title: Blythe’s Story, Chapter Seven (Letters 1965)
Author: Namaste
Summary: “My sisters don't know what it's like to be married to a Marine, and what it's like for their husband to have so many responsibilities. He seems so distracted sometimes that I'm worried he'll just drift away. I know you'll understand what I mean, and I feel like you're the only person who would.”
PG, about 1,000 words.
Author’s Note: Two for the money today, with this chapter followed immediately by Chapter Eight (Letters 1966) as we follow a couple of years in House’s family life via letters. Chapter Eight is linked at the end. I fully admit to stealing the structure for these chapters from Carol Shields’ “The Stone Diaries.”
To start at the beginning: Chapter One, Chapter Two, Chapter Three, Chapter Four, Chapter Five, Chapter Six
