I’m sorry for not writing. In truth, I wasn’t sure if it would be appropriate to write to you again. For what it is worth, I quite enjoyed the first weeks following your engagement. My father left me alone, assuming I was quite heartbroken and all, so I was happily devastated for quite some time.

It’s just that I hoped everyone will have moved on and found something else to talk about, as you said. And they haven’t, have they? Witch Weekly is only ever half true, it’s outrageous that such garbage is put to print. Only half of it is even close to true. The trouble I have, though, is that I know which half of the article was false. What does this mean for the other half of what was written? As a friend, albeit a strange and now distant one, I admit I am a bit worried.

Though I am certain there is nothing to be concerned about. I would be delighted to meet Mrs. Greengrass, if she’ll have me. I can write to her, if you think it is a good idea.
