I do suppose that is a very valid reason to abscond from the county without me. It would be unfair for me to be the center of your attention all of the time. I would like to see your set up over there. I haven't been to France in far too long.

I can't believe you had my box! I thought it broken and gone. I'm pleased to have it back, I will hold it closer when I am missing you. However, I will do no such disservice to your dear brother, I quite like him and would like for him to continue to like me as well!

There is a surprise for you upon your arrival home as well, though I should give you the opportunity to have me tell you ahead of time, I would hate for it to be jarring.

Missing you already, I hope business does not take too long.
