Killian-

I'm still mad at you, but I'm madder at you for not answering me. You can't avoid me, mister. The only reason you shouldn't be writing is because you've gone overboard, and THAT'S NOT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.

Summer's boring. Home's boring without you. I've gone to Lily's twice; her parents are nice people. Mum and dad like them a lot.

If you're not here, Kili, I don't have much reason to be here.

Please be safe. Write me. Please.
