Tuni,
I'm halfway through one and I've left lots of bookmarks for interesting things to return to, then I'll compile a list and where I found them so we can refer back easily. Will you be able to procure artifacts to go with all of these fun tidbits?
I really shouldn't tell you Tuni, he'd be so mad at me... But since you already know about the situation a little and I think we've learned our lessons about sharing things from our letters, not to mention I need to tell somebody before I burst, I think we'll be alright. Just promise me you'll never tell anyone, ever, please.
That night after your run-in, he was furious and I thought I'd screwed up so badly he was going to end it. I convinced him to meet me in a decidedly private spot so I could explain. Well let's just say it was not so much the argument as I thought it was going to be and one thing led to another and... well that book I sent you does not do it justice, not in the slightest.
So, even with a bit of whiskey in you, you cannot have been nearly as foolish as I've been. I'm sure Mr. Bixby does not think any less of you and I'm pleased to hear he's a gentleman. Perhaps when liquor is not involved and you're able to communicate more plainly it would be different. Or maybe you'll get married and do it all the right way, that's up to you. I am not telling you do do anything foolish like I have, but I clearly cannot judge you for it if you do. I was definitely more the instigator in my situation and oh, was it worth it.
Fondly,
Febs
