Author's note: Hello again! I trust you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Here is Peter's letter. Thanks goes to Gaia Was Framed for the title. Yay! Peter's letter is short because, as I noted in Lucy's letter, he and Susan are not on speaking terms. So without further ado, here it is! Part 2 will be coming soon so stay tuned.
Peter's Plea
Susan,
I'm sorry that I haven't written in a while but things have been busy. Come to think of it, you haven't written either so I suppose you must not miss me too terribly. Edmund says he asked you to meet us at the train station. Are you really going to come? Do you know how much that would brighten Ed's spirits?
Lucy and Edmund miss you so much. And I, well, I miss you too. Why do we have to quarrel? I just want to protect Lucy and Edmund. I see how much you're hurting them. They love you, Susan. Can't you try to put things right and be gentle again? I'm sorry that I said gentle. I know you don't like me to remind you of – of our 'game', but the fact is that it is so hard to not mention it
Please, Susan, can't we be friends again? You used to love me. Why do you scorn me now? Why do you act like you can't stand the sight of me? It's almost like you hate me. I try hard not to believe it, but you seem to despise me so much.
Susan the Gentle, you are no more. It's like I never knew you. I do not know where my sister has gone, but she has been replaced with a shadow wearing nylons and caring only for lipstick and beaus. Whatever dark tower you may be locked away in, I will to my duty to free you. I suppose you will think these thoughts are only childish musings of a schoolboy caught between realities. See it your way. I have to go. I'll write more when I am no longer preoccupied.
Peter
