My darling,
I suppose if the tears I cause are by making you happy, I would not be opposed to it. The fact you know my emotions just by my eyes is quite the accomplishment. I am pleased—no— touched that you noticed such a detail about me that even I wasn't aware of. You are quite right about our dancing together; it is more than just a dance. Molly, knowing that you are so happy with me is the most important thing to me. I promise to always cherish you, for you are the most precious to me. I could kiss your lips forever. My heart is yours entirely.
Thank you for the parts you brought home; it was very kind of you. I must voice my concern of you working yourself so hard. I know it is not the first time you have worked overtime for a few days in a row, but it is clearly taking a toll on you. You are currently in bed, passed out from exhaustion. I have checked on you a few times and you feel too warm, like you are coming down with something. Do not worry about a thing, sweetheart, I will take care of you.
John has asked if we could watch Rosie next weekend. I told him yes as long as you're feeling better by then. He says she's excited to spend time with us. I have grown quite fond of young Rosamund. Who am I fooling? I love her. Never once did I think children would appeal to me, but between Archie and Rosamund, I do not mind them. It is more than that, though. I enjoy them. Perhaps we should have one of our own; half you and half me. Our children would be brilliant. I am probably jumping the gun a bit, so to speak. Of course, I do not mean right now (unless you decide otherwise; I would have no complaints).
I love you so very much,
Your William xxx
p.s. I am second guessing giving you this letter. I should rewrite it. Yes, exactly what I should do.
