Maria's POV

A few days later I got a letter from Robin and I sat in the parlor looking at the sun-setting over the trees.

Maria,

I have spoken to my father he suggests the 10th of July, how is that? It's summer, and although I do not know why you ask the forest will be pretty then, the flowers will be open and the trees will be at the best.

Jasper, Pascal and Tamer have all agreed, but I'm not sure when we and Father will be free to see Loveday, and she'll have to come here. Father doesn't trust me, my love, he thinks that if I go to Merryweather Manor I'll be gone much too long.

I love you,

Robin
