Dear Lucas,

Words are not enough to express the sorrow I feel in my heart for what I did. I shouldn’t have had blind faith in the whispers. You have asked me to trust, and I do have faith in you, in us. Although sometimes, like last time, I… I deeply apologise for my hurtful accusations.

You might grin as you read these words, but I was in the wrong. I can’t ever get a sense of where I stand with my sister. The way she barged into my bedroom, going on about how we don’t deserve to be together, my dearest Lucas, the spiteful girl made sure I thought you’d chosen her over me.

What we have, Lucas, is strong. I won’t let my sister take you away from me as she did our mother.

Sometimes, my heart cries out for me to leave it all behind. Leave it and run away to sunny Côte d’Azur with you.

Ever since Mother left this earth, I’ve felt so lost. Oh, dear Lucas, I miss you so much. Would you please come over for lunch at Violet’s Rose?

I have so much to tell you. So much to share.

Violet’s Rose is as peaceful as always, and I find myself in the gardens, staring at the leaves shivering in the breeze, wondering what I should do with myself. I am, for all purposes, an orphan, given how little Father cares for us. Despite staying with Leana, I do not have a family or friends close to my heart.

Leana, with all her rude friends, ensures the house is a circus. Her ghastly friends ridiculing Mother’s taste is like a knife to my heart. She had the most exquisite sense of decor and elegance, qualities Leana will never possess.

Oh, Lucas, you must come over as soon as you can. I need to speak with you, see your handsome face and hold your hand.

And I want to say yes to the question you asked me last time. When I so rudely suggested that you’d been unfaithful.

Oh, dearest, I’d be honoured to call you my husband and carry your last name.

I must end this letter here for I hear my sister and her friends screaming down the hallway, playing the music they say is all the rage in London.

Help me, Lucas. Take me away to bliss.

Yours lovingly,

Isobel M.
