Clove,

Look, I know we’re technically ~fighting~ and everything, but my exams start tomorrow and I’m sad and tired and I haven’t talked to you in three days and that sucks, so I’m calling a truce. Plus, I only know half of my Latin conjugations and I am so D O N E with revision that I’d rather talk to a Clove-who’s-mad-at-me than no Clove at all.

I’m sorry. I should never have forced you to go to the NYE party with me. I know you don’t like parties. I know that. But I had all of these plans for what I was going to do and say at midnight and it was going to be so powerfully romantic. I thought I could persuade you to enjoy yourself anyway.

I’m really sorry you had a crappy night. I should have listened to you. I’m pushy and bossy and I do things without telling you about them because I think I know best. (Which is so stupid because you’re one million times cleverer than me.)

I know you hate it when I do stuff without asking you first. We had enough of that in 1745. I really should have learned my lesson by now.

Look, we’re never going to agree on everything. You’re always going to find it annoying that I take endless selfies and believe in aliens even though I’ve never met any (yet). I’m never going to understand how you can spend all your time at a computer without wanting to go outside for a bit, or why you would rather stew in your feelings instead of talking through problems with me. (Or why you bite your nails − it’s such a bad habit.)

We’re going to argue. That’s how this works. That’s what makes it real. If it was easy, it wouldn’t be us, would it?
