If You Say It Enough, It's True

[Thom Pettigrew]

Chastity,

I regret that business shall keep me rather late tonight. I shall not be home for dinner, so please do not wait up. I know how critical it is that you get your rest at this time.

Perhaps these flowers shall liven up the dinner table in my absence. Know that I shall love and miss you every second of my absence.

Thom,

• I hope that this does not become a nightly affair, Thom. Alas, I shall not wait for you to eat and I wish that you do not stay out too late lest something bad come about. I do thank you for the flowers, however, they do make the evening somewhat tolerable. I love you, too. Eternally yours,

  Chastity

Chastity,

I shall endeavor not to make a habit of it, but do try not to worry. I promise that nothing ghastly will happen.

I love you.

Thom
