Cassie sat down in front of her computer. It had occurred to her earlier that she hadn't let her family in Japan know about her career change yet. Unless one of her parents had already mentioned it to someone, they wouldn't even know that she wasn't in New York City anymore.

Instead of writing to everyone, she decided to write to one person and let them spread the news. Her grandparents and their youngest son, Hikaru, and his family lived in Kozushima Village on the island of Kozushima. Kozushima was where Cassie's mother had grown up, despite Cassie's grandfather running a successful computer and robotics business, Fujimura Technologies, based in the city of Tokyo. After establishing the business her grandfather, Fujimura Daichi, had moved his wife and kids back to the island village to make his wife, Nako, happy. He had flown between the island and the mainland for years, until he had turned the business over to his oldest son, Satoyuki.

Though she tried to write to her grandparents on a regular basis, Cassie corresponded with her cousin, Sachio, the most. Sachio was next in line to take over Fujimura Technologies. Four years older than her, the two of them had gotten to know each other when Cassie had visited Japan. Since then, they had often exchanged emails, both keeping their respective branches of the family up to date with what was happening. She knew if she told Sachio about the changes in her life, it wouldn't be long before he had relayed that information to her grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Sachio-chan,

I hope everything is going well. How are you and Kao-chan? Anything new or exciting happening since the last time I heard from you? Is Kai-kun settling into the new school year okay? How are Grandma and Grandpa doing?

The last month has been a whirlwind for me. Remember when I told you that I was going to look for a job outside of the city? Well, not only did I start looking but I found one that interested me. I didn't expect to find one so quick, but I got an offer I couldn't resist. I took a job as a consultant with Tracy Industries. I'm based in their Wichita, Kansas office. I moved to my new location almost two weeks ago.

As you can probably guess, I've been busy settling into my new job and home. I can, of course, be reached via email, but I'll list my number and address at the end of this letter. Please share it with the rest of the family, especially Grandma, seeing as she prefers the old-fashion method of letter-writing.

I've got a two-bedroom apartment which is much bigger than what I was living in back in the city. It's nice and is in a good location. I'm in the process of painting the walls of my bedroom which is a much harder task than I thought it would be. I think I made the right decision with deciding to leave the rest of the walls white. I'm not sure I'd want to tackle painting the entire apartment.

Cassie paused, trying to decide what else she could safely say. She knew she couldn't mention Luke living nearby as that may cause suspicion. As far as they knew he lived in California. At the same time, if she didn't mention anyone that might raise some flags in itself. How could she refer to those sharing the island with her while not giving anything away?

I suppose I could refer to them as either neighbors or co-workers, Cassie thought. I'm just going to have to keep how I refer to everyone consistent. The easiest way to do that would probably keep a list, she mused. Opening her word processor program, she created a file to do just that.

Taking care not to give away anything she shouldn't, Cassie continued her email to her cousin, telling him about some of the new people in her life.
