Dear Lyra,

It is for the best that we not see each other, perhaps, but I would like to nonetheless. It's been so long and I still - and then there is our son. Wouldn't you like to see Lysander?

Besides that, there is the grander question of your return. I have previously been linked to the Potter family, through you. We're going to end up linked again whether we seek it or not.

(And of course, perhaps - I do not want to stay away.)

August
