My sweet honeybee,
How did I ever deserve a forgiving angel such as you? I promise I will remember your loving words. This past weekend has been wonderful and exactly what we needed. I loved seeing your pretty smile again. And how can I express how much I enjoyed dancing with you in the kitchen at two in the morning whilst you baked chocolate chip biscuits. Your nose scrunched up in the most adorable way when I licked the melted chocolate from the tip of it. Not to mention, those Bunsen burner s'mores were perfect for delicious, messy snogging.
You loved the bath I ran for you, insisting I join you. You had laid back, nuzzling yourself against my chest. These moments with you I cherish and I always make sure to memorize every piece of them—how I feel, how happy you look, the feel of your lips, the sound of your heartbeat and breathing—and store them in my mind palace for safe keeping. I never want to forget a single moment with you, Molly.
The way you made love to me—oh, Molly, you are just so beautiful. I couldn't help but lavish you with my affections, to show you how much I love you; how lucky I feel to know you and be loved by you in return. For years, I have been a foolish man, albeit it was not entirely my own fault. Once I discovered how much of a strength love could be, I realized how important it was to have; that love was all that mattered in the end. Everything else seems so miniscule compared to what we have.
Your puzzle, by the way, ILvU too. Very clever, my Molly. I adore your intelligence; it's quite becoming. I adore everything about you. We had discussed, over the weekend, our impending wedding and agreed to have it sooner than September. June is now the set month; it's sooner and still gives us plenty of time for planning. We're only having a small affair, but it still requires a significant amount of thought. I was surprised you had suggested an earlier wedding date as I thought my recent mistake would have caused you to rethink it all. Thank you for assuring me that you would never leave me. I assure you, darling, I will never pull such a stunt again. I hadn't planned on doing such an awful thing, leaving you to worry, but that is a downside of allowing my emotions to control me.
I had no idea how protective my brother was of our relationship and I made sure to thank him for contacting you that night, though it was close to three in the morning. He really has always been a good brother to me and I feel wretched about how I treated him all those years. Mycroft never celebrates his birthday, but as it is coming up, I was hoping you could help me do something nice for him. It's the least I could do for all that he's done for me. For us.
I love you, Molly, with all of my heart and soul. Yours always,
William xxx
