Daniel,

I’ve been made aware that you haven’t been reading my letters, so I shall start this one the same way I have started the previous ones: I miss you dearly and if I ever have the good fortune of meeting you again in this lifetime, I will kick you soundly in the left kneecap before hugging the life out of you.

I hope you are well. I hear things because, well, you know why. It’s what I’m good at. And because when it comes to you, I want to hear it all.

I won’t ask why you are angry with me, though I’m sure we could have a lively debate over your reasoning, but I must ask why you seem to be angry with yourself? I don’t care if you’ve truly become mean-spirited and dangerous, as some are saying. I don’t care if you’ve done some of the more outrageous things being gossiped about. I do care why you are behaving this way because I’m not sure you know the answer to that yourself. I say that not to judge you, but to let you know that I am here, I am listening, and I care. If you take anything from this letter, then please let it be that. I CARE.

If you’d rather not discuss anything serious, then I shall take it upon myself to reminisce about something you may have long forgotten—that summer when Caroline Dunst felt fond of you and began baking you blackberry pies, not knowing you hated blackberries. Luckily for us both, I had no such character flaw. I haven’t had a good blackberry in some time, and never a pie so delicious as poor Caroline’s. I hear she’s a baker now, and perhaps if this war turns out as we wish, we might stop by her establishment when next we visit home.

Things are going well with me. I have quite taken to marriage now that I’ve learned that it doesn’t mean sitting around the house mending socks (Malcolm is very good at mending, so I need never worry about that). So much has happened that I want to share with you. I will still write from time to time, and I hope that one day you see fit to do the same, my friend.

Yours with love and consternation,

Elle

P.S. All right, I am going to admit that pretending to be patient is not my strong suit. Write to me at your earliest convenience or I will tell everyone that your favorite pastime was whittling kitten figurines. Let’s see how your “monster of the 4L” reputation survives that. Is this a threat? Yes.
