I must admit this may be wildly out of character for me, as I do not typically read Witch Weekly but one was left open and your letter caught my eye. I do suppose I would like to inquire as to what about a companionship that will not lead to marriage is what you are looking for? It is something I have often thought about for myself as well, but being a young woman did not think would be afforded to me without much scrutiny. My situation is... unusual, but that could be why your advertisement struck a chord. I find myself lonely, but not for romance, simply for someone to talk to.

I do hope you write back.
