Dear Mr. Not So Funny,

A strong guess, but alas, you are wrong.

Yours who would not even name a cat after you,

Lettie

My sweet, Violet,

Do you call using my memory cheating? I recalled from something you said at the gala that you were named after your aunt, who married Dean Elliot. All I had to do was Google Lettie Benson and Dean Elliot. And voilà victory!

Yours triumphantly,

Liam

P.S. Violets are now my favorite flower.

I read the postscript over and over. If I could, I would turn it into a cross-stitch. We’ve been sending these emails back and forth over the past week. I’m not sure what we are doing. But not only do I like Liam, I’m also a little lonely. So, I begin a new email.

You win. Tell me what you’ve been up to this summer. How is Fitz?

Yours with mild curiosity,

Lettie
