Charlie,
I'm excited to see you as well. My mother says she's planning a special dinner for whatever reason. So.. bring your appetite. She said nothing more than that though. Apparently she's already seen to extra bottles of rum.

And.. I don't know that I'd regret that night entirely. Who is to say we wouldn't have gotten to this point without it? Sometimes, bad things need to happen for us to see the good. I know you believe little of fate but.. I still feel many things do happen for a reason, good and bad.

And don't worry about the basket, I've seen to it.

Always,
Ems
