Finally, a letter FROM Josephine

October 1, 767

Dearest,

I watch for thy letters every day. I live for them.

I wish I could just close my eyes, and it would be Christmas, the months from now to then will be so long.

Who is regent of Christenland's throne?

I hope thou wast wise in soliciting him. Is it Lorin, or Sean, or Shannon?

Was it really five years ago we met? I rather believe it was only three. But, I cannot really remember. It seems ages and ages ago, and yet it all went so fast!

I wish thou couldst understand thou causeth much more grief by being away from me than by killing "him."

Thursday

I thought I would just add a little to this note I started Monday. Truly, I do not think I cold be thee or have thy body, for then I must love myself and that I could not do because I love thee so much. Nay, I would not want to change and be anyone in the world, for now I have thy love.

Please, please be very careful. I know thou sayest that thy illness was not important, because thou wouldst not have me worry. I am terribly afraid that something might happen…heaven forbid!

How couldst I be gay and merry if perhaps thou lay dying away from me, and I not knowing.

No I canst not be gay and merry until I am with thee.

Please come soon.

Thine Sunshine

And there, my friends, is an end to the letters.. from now on.. stories.
