My Laura,
I am so sorry I had to leave the planet so early. I would have liked nothing more than to stay planetside and spend more time with you. Gods Laura, you're incredible.
I received a call from Lee early this morning asking me to come over to Pegasus as soon as possible. I checked on things in CIC and then raptored there where Lee met me on the hangar deck. He told me that he had asked Dualla to marry him and that he wanted me to perform the ceremony right then! I knew their relationship was serious, but I had no idea they wanted to make that commitment to each other so soon, so you can imagine my shock. He took me back to his quarters where Dualla and a handful of their friends had gathered and I married them right there. My son is married, Laura!
I went to the observation deck after dinner tonight and spent some time just looking out the window, down on the planet. The settlement was of course covered by clouds so I couldn't see much, but I tried to imagine what you were doing at that moment. I guessed that you and Maya were grading papers and assignments in your tent with Isis nearby, hopefully keeping warm, probably sipping on tea. I wish I could be there with you. I hadn't previously considered settling on New Caprica, but I'm sure I could warm up to the idea.
I miss you.
Love,
Bill
P.S.
Were you serious about building a cabin?
