Summary: A nearly unbearably sweet letter from Percy to Marguerite.
Author's Notes: I was really just playing around with fancy-sounding adjectives and whatnot.
Dearest Marguerite,
Life remains dull without your presence. I find it hard even to engage in my usual frivolity. I can almost hear you laugh at that. You've such a marvelous laugh. All those around you cannot help but partake in your gayety. O! If only I could hear it now.
The solemnity of life without you is unbearable. The most succulent of foods turn bitter without you there to sweeten. The finest of wines become vinegar as I drink. Even the brightest and gayest of garb hang drab, lifeless, and colorless in your absence.
I languish every day that I am not in your beloved presence. I know I am to see you in but a month, yet it seems so long. A month without you is a lifetime.
With the Greatest of Love,
Sir Percy Blakeney
