Mr. Edevane,
You are quite right—Longbottom is a mouthful on the best of days, though I daresay it’s grown on me. It's easier to spell and pronounce than Edevane. Beckett Edevane does have a nice ring to it though. Perhaps that will be the first and middle of my future son. (Although I'm not sure I can give you the pleasure of having someone named after you.) As for my ribbon, I guess I'll console myself by imagining where you might be using it. I like the idea of it tucked into your breast pocket where no one else can see. For emergencies, of course.
I’m marking the days till the weekend in ink. Is there anything you wish for me to bring?
xx,
Mrs. Longbottom
