Dagny,
It's been a week since I dispatched my letter to you, and the courier who bore my missive has returned to Whiterun. He tells me that you received it, but did not care to reply.
I do not know what to think.
My heart tells you that if you had no feelings for me, you would have told me so immediately. Yet you did not. This leaves a glimmer of hope within my heart, and I hope that you are merely delaying your response because you are arranging to return and speak to me in person.
Yet, I do not know that your silence is a good thing. There are many reasons you may not have replied. None of them are good. You may be ignoring me because my feelings are not returned, and you do not know how to break it to me. (Might I suggest simply telling me?) The silence may be because you are in danger, or have been injured or killed somehow.
Please, my love. Even if my feelings are for naught, set my mind at ease and let me know that you are well.
Vilkas
