Painted Pearls
Had you less pride, Edward, we might have been friends; and for that loss, I am deeply saddened.
I am to be married, and this is why I write you now. It is not a station I seek, nor is it one of my own electing. I fear any future response from you would be considered highly indecorous, and so I must beg of you to pursue no further communication. This is my goodbye to you, Edward; and a goodbye to that cherished season which we spent in each other’s company. I will remember it fondly, despite your hopeless self… it is past and faded, though the memories will linger, as a pleasant fragrance will hang in the air, regardless of time or distance.
