I should be honored to have the opportunity to dance with you again. I shall be at the Ball as one of my brothers graduates this year and as such the family plans to attend.
I believe you will find the best way to approach your father about the subject, but can understand your hesitations. It is not something to go into lightly.
I am glad to hear that you have found a new client. What is his studies on? Are you at least enjoying the material despite the hand it has been written in?
Sincerely,
BEE-utiful set!
