[Morrow]

Lavinia,

I have never been accused of being an optimist.

The kind of hope needed for that attitude is rare where I come from and is quickly beaten down when it does appear.

I have found myself hopeful since leaving Fort Blackwell. While my worse, if wiser, self steeled itself for your rejection another Garnham dreamed of other futures.

Then I saw you coming aboard the Nixie wearing your new sword. You are stunning wearing my greatest hope.

I apologize for my behavior in Blackwell. Not what I said, but the way I thrust it upon you. It was rude of me and I'm sorry.

I have been interested in you for some time now. I saw your beauty at the dinner table that first night, your strength as you discovered the truth about your brother, your wit as you dealt with the Dawn Council and your skill while dueling devils. You are amazing.

It took me until Blackwell for my fear of not telling you my feelings to overcome my fear of your rejection. I tried to put this down on paper, but the words weren't right and it was best that I tell you to your face.

I'm writing this in the heart of the Olman ruins. Urol is busy with his etchings and Liamae has agreed to play courier for me so I'm taking advantage of a few quiet hours to write the first love letter I have ever written.

If we were still in Sasserine I would ask you out dancing, but that won't be an option.

I would very much like to walk with you on the beach, share a good bottle of wine and watch the sunset together.

Yours truly,

K. Garnham
