the man offers her a pen and some paper from pouches on his thigh after letting her go, dipping into an awkward silence after the hug
[/quote]

She starts to write, but part way though she stops and hugs him.
"Thanks..." She says, before letting the hug go. She keeps writing, and then walks outside. She whistles, and a different mailman, or woman in this case takes the letter before vanishing.
