Edric,
I was scoffing at the "protecting his woman" comment and you know why, but mostly because I'm not sure I enjoy being referred to that way? I'm not sure. Also you know firsthand I have a mean right hook.
I'm well aware of how dangerous your job can be; we seemed to start on a intense pitch, I was hoping it could slope downward after this. I wouldn't be foolish enough to think there will be no danger in your position, but I do have to admit that your promotion gives me a teeny, tiny peace of mind that you may be stuck at your desk a little more often. I would rather you came home in once piece more often than not.
I'm not sure Mrs. H knows how to cook for a small amount of people, I am one of five remember. I'm sure she'd figure it out just about the time we have children and then it would be a moot point.
I'm going to call it a night, please get some sleep tonight.
I love you.
Love,
Febs
