My lips are sealed, I promise.

I'm confused. What do you mean by a weird tone? So much can be misconstrued in letters, perhaps he was just nervous? You're not the most girly of girls. I would be anxious gifting you a bracelet, too. Did you apologize for the howler, at least?

At least you two resolved it quickly this year. I'd hate to watch you two distance yourselves like you did last year. Besides, I don't think Ned could stand the tension. Do you think your brother will tell your mum about the whole ordeal? I know Bridget wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut if it were me, little rat that she is.

I think it's unfair to think boys don't care. Have you read Pride and Prejudice? Mr. Darcy cares very much, he's just expected not to show it. Maybe that's just the way Cameron is too. Maybe he can't tell you what he thinks, so he gets defensive and snarky.

Either way, can we please try to refrain from fighting with him again until we're at school? You two need a buffer sometimes.
