Forgive me if I still call you JP. It fits you better, I think.

I suppose I must admit I am dreadfully curious. Letters are an easy way to get to know one another without the stress of expectations and propriety. Merlin knows I ought to have fainted at the content of your last letter. Is it terrible to say I don't want those strains on whatever bizarre friendship this is? Not yet, anyway.

Did you propose? There was a ring sent and the topic mentioned, but I believe a question has to be asked first. The ring is a proof of your talent, then. I have to admit, I haven't worn it yet.
