Epistolary narrator: Stella

Epistolary narrator, warm, tender, and intimate

Prompt: A warm, intimate female voice for epistolary fiction. Her gentle mid-register reads letters like confidences, tender and immersive, unfolding a life page by page. There's a I-am-telling-only-you closeness in her tone. The sound of a narrator who makes a stack of old letters feel like eavesdropping on two hearts across time.

Script: My dearest Thomas, it is midnight. The house is finally asleep, and I am writing to you by the last of the candle because there are things I cannot say aloud; not in this house, not in this life. You asked in your last letter whether I was happy.
