Daffy! Dearest darling Daffy!

I am so overjoyed at your news! I can not wait to hear of every second regarding his propsal. How soon can you come for a visit? I shall bake your favorite cookies and you can tell me over tea. And as soon as you've finished the story you shall have to tell me of your plans for a wedding. Spring! How soon and how lovely that shall be! You must tell me how I can help make your wedding as magical as you made mine. Oh do please let Elias know how happy I am to have him joining the family.

All my love, your sister,
Dahlia

Dearest Dafs,
Of course Sunday works. Even if I had plans you know I'd cancel them for you. Call any time.

That of course sounds exactly like you, but I know if you said yes it is special no matter how simple it may seem. Truly I doubt it was simple, but you leave a lot to be implied in "nothing over the top" and now I find I'm unsure if this is by your measure of over the top or mine.

Honestly I am still getting used to wearing my ring. It feels more normal now than it did when Quin first placed one on my finger, but still I am very aware of it. I should also admit that I'm very aware of it when it is off my finger.

All my love,
Dahlia
