10 - Correspondence: III
Dearest Uncle,
The recent months planning my sister's marriage to Roberto finally culminated in their wedding last week. It was a lovely affair, and I have never seen Isabel look more beautiful. She was practically glowing as she stood next to Roberto. The room next to mine feels especially empty now. As you know, Isabel was my closest sister in age. Now only Esme and I are left unattached, as Sabine and Eva have been married for over a year.
On to a happier train of thought than my sister's leaving home. Now that my assistance is no longer needed with Isabel's plans, my parents have informed me to start planning my next trip to France! I can finally finish my vacation with you and Raoul, if you will have me. I can make all the preparations to leave for the journey in just under two months, if that coincides properly with your schedule.
I will keep this letter brief, as I eagerly anticipate your answer. I must admit, I can barely contain my excitement. I have been busy helping Isabel, but I have been looking forward to getting away to France the entire time.
My love to all my Musketeers,
Marie
