Dear Domhnall,

Are you planning to come home for Easter? I found a book I thought you'd like. I wasn't sure if it would be worth sending it or not. It's a bit heavy for this owl.

Also, I trust school is going well?

Yours,
Donovan

Dear Donovan

Well that is the plan, though you never know.  Of course with you mentioning the book, of course I have to come home.

I can't let you torture that poor owl.

School is school.  You either do well, you fail, or you run around wondering what's to become of your life.  I'd like to think I'm right between the first and the last.

Yours,
Domhnall

Dear Domhnall,

I'll save it for you, then. I don't think the book is so interesting it's worth animal cruelty.

I'm sure that you're doing well. The good news is that the better you do, the more options you'll have.

Yours,
Donovan

Dear Donovan

I would imagine that the owls thank you cousin.

All jokes aside, I am doing very well, I promise.  And I mean to have plenty of options for my life.

Yours,
Domhnall
