Dearest Orion,
I was so pleased to finally get news of you this morning! I've been dreadfully worried over where you might have gone... I was terrified that you had left me for some other reason. A silly worry of mine, that, but there it is. I hope you will forgive me for doubting you, darling.
I'm sorry to hear that your parents had such a bad reaction to myproblem pregnancy. I had hoped we might have more support in this, but now I know we will have none. I dare not tell anyone besides Sofi and Gerard of my condition, since that will only cause me us only more problems. Madame Nakano has been kind enough to give me a potion that helps with the morning sickness, so I am well enough at present. I only wish you were here to make it for me...
Enough of that. I must be boring you, Ri, with all this talk of stress. I will try to think of something else to tell you. [ink blot here; apparently the writer really did pause to think] Aha! I know.Our My friend Cross has left school to go back to America; apparently his family there has had some sort of emergency, and he was sent for on Thursday morning. No date has been given for his return, or whether he will even return at all. Sofi is quite upset, of course, but she has been hiding it as best she could. I feel quite bad for her, since she apparently feels that she must act this way. At least I know I may act as depressed as I like, since everyone knows we were together. Are together. What am I saying? We are together. Always.
Rereading this, I see that once again I'm being dreadfully boring... I wish I had something else to tell you about, my dearest Ri, something that would reassure you that I am well. Since I cannot think of the words, just know this: I am well, though I miss you so terribly I have cried for you every night since you left. I cannot wait to see you again, to hold you in my arms, to smell your wonderful scent, to feel you within my very being... [water-spot, obviously a tear] I miss you so dreadfully, Orion. Please come back to me soon... beg your parents, if you have to, just please come back to me!
I had better finish this letter while I can, I'm getting far too emotional.
I love you, Orion.
Always, your
Gemma
