LETTER ONE

My Beloved Ethany,

I have arrived in Andilain unharmed and weary.

Now I know why you have always desired to see Andilain at this time of year. The sweet fragrance of the trees blossoming remind me of the soft skin at your neck. If we should ever travel here, I will insist on taking a carriage. You know how I detest riding horses and after two days, my backside would be grateful if I never beheld a saddle again.

The trip was uneventful and my royal escort was not unkind to me, though their conversations haunted my sleep.
