    The letter is charmed for Cash's eyes only. It's also written with a shaky hand.

    June 21st, 1887
    Dearest Cash,

    My heart is broken.

    I confessed my feelings to Ben Crouch, which he apparently shares, Cash! He told me that he likes me! And then here's the tragedy: we could never be together, not in a million years, not while my mother is alive, at least. I can't marry someone like him, even if he's a Crouch and a pureblood. I know that I was stupid for falling for him. I should have forced myself to like his twin instead. I was stupid for having hopes about him. I was so stupid, Cash!

    But I can't help how I feel. My soul hurts. I don't want to live a life devoid of him. It feels as though I was born to meet him and love him. I don't think I could ever feel that way about anyone else, Cash and what hurts and it makes me feel so empty! I've never felt this way - I was sad when things were broken off with Edward, but I didn't feel so empty and hopeless! I love him, Cash! I don't know what do to.

    You can't help having hope, even if sometimes that's all we have.

    Maybe he's not ideal. Maybe he's not exactly the sort of person that your mother would like - but I've said it before, and I still think I'm right when I say that you and your mother like very different sorts of men. And maybe you were meant to meet Ben - maybe things aren't over, yet.

    I knew he liked you too.

    Dearest Cash,

    He sent me a present. A pair of gloves, as well as an apology note. Cash - I feel so silly! I'm so giddy and yet I want to cry. This gives me a ridiculous amount of hope (you wouldn't want to apologize to someone you don't intend to keep in contact with, after all), but at the same time, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that this is a goodbye. I don't want it to be a goodbye, Cash. I know that we can't marry in a large ceremony with our families happily in attendance but I can't bear not having him in my life at all!

    I wrote to him. I'm having second thoughts now, though. Do you think I shouldn't have written back? Oh Cash, I'm only making things worse!

    It's going to be fine, Ellory. I think that keeping contact is a good idea. Has he said anything yet?

    Dearest Cash,

    He hasn't responded to my letter. I suppose I shouldn't have expected a response. He didn't send me an actual letter, after all. Just a note. Most people know better than to respond to notes.

    I am being stupid, Cash. I should let it go. I shouldn't expect something that can't happen. He'll go on with his life and I should do the same. He'll find a girl like Miss Blackwood and be happier with her and I should do the same.

    I think that I'm going to let it go.

    Dearest Cash,

    So, I wrote to Ben Crouch again.

    I read in the Prophet that he was at the protest and I was worried that something happened to him. Do you think I was silly for writing him? I have no right to be concerned about him - it's not like I'm his wife, or anything! What if he's annoyed at me for writing?
