[it smells like books]

Found: about halfway through J.D. Robb's Seduction in Death, one 13-cm-by-10-cm Hallmark greeting card.  Opens vertically.  Front: blue border along top edge, sepia tone bordered photograph featuring two little girls in dresses walking hand-in-hand along a white picket fence.  Inscription in black cursive font reads 

"With a sister like you,
 I know I'll always
 have a friend..." 

finished inside 

"...and so will you."  

Back: the blue border fades to the white background color, overlaid by white letters in childish font reading "Out of the Blue".  The Hallmark logo is directly beneath, and in tiny letters near the bottom edge, just above the bar code, reads: 

"99BLF 103-5 
(c) HALLMARK CARDS, INC. 
KANSAS CITY, MO 64141 
TORONTO, CANADA M2J 1P6 
MADE IN U.S.A. 
www.hallmark.com"

(The bar code then reads "0 - 70000 09504 - 7 - 01035")

Inside the front cover of the card in neat blue-ballpoint-pen handwriting reads,

"Meg,
Just wanted to send you a note
to tell you how much I love
you and value you - you are
my best friend and I know
I can tell you anything
and you will never judge
me and it is the same with
you telling me anything.  We
have such a bond.  I hope
all is well and your foot and
everything is good.  I love you
so much and miss you a
ton - let me know if you need
anything or want to visit.
Take care you, love you.
Love,
Whit"

Inside the back cover of the card reads

"November 4, 2001
Megan,"

and then underneath the inscription

"Love you so much.

LOVE,
XXXXXXXX
OOOOOOOO
Whitney"

(The edges and crease of the card are slightly yellowed with age.  Creepy how something from 2001 can be old.  Also, considering the date, I'm compelled to wonder whether the writing of this card was spurred by the events surrounding 9/11.  Also, I wasn't aware that there are people capable of longer run-on comma-deprived sentences than me.)
