My sweetest Elizabeth,
Can I interest you in sneaking off with me for a trip to our bridge on Thursday (19th)? We can have breakfast there and just spend some quiet time together. This may be our last chance for some alone time since the Festival starts on Friday and the families arrive the day after.
Laura will be at your house for the cookie baking in the afternoon, so will you find out if she can come early. I can pick her up at her house at 8:00. Say you will come with me and I promise to keep you warm. Love,
Lucas
