Letters[]
First Letter
Hey Evie,
Seeing as the agency's fifth anniversary is coming up, I thought I’d send this letter.
Just thinking about the time that has passed got me chuffed. I can’t believe it’s been that long!
Remember how we scrambled just to get the agency up? We had our elbows knee-deep in real estate catalogs and paperwork! The place was so messy Damian would have felt at home in it! And I can still recall the long debates we had regarding the agency’s name (Mind you, I standby "Fernwood" to this day!)
How time flies… I can’t help but feel a sense of pride for us -- for you. We’ve come such a long way, Evie. I know you were against the idea of me -- as you coined it -- “babysitting” you out of your mother’s request, but it all worked out for the best, didn’t it? I’m glad you trusted me enough to take me with you on this journey.
I’m definitely getting you a gift to celebrate! I don’t have much, but I promise to find something meaningful for you.
We make a great team. I’m proud of you, Evie. I don't think I'll ever get tired of saying that.
Your greatest admirer,
Allen
Second Letter
Cheer up, Evie
I'm slipping this under your door as you haven't left your room for a while.
I've known you long enough to notice when you feel disheartened. You lock yourself in your study or bedroom for hours on end, trying to find a solution that may not be there.
Our work has never been the easiest. It can wear down even the most brilliant of detectives (aka YOU). I might sound like a broken record at this point, but I hope you understand that you shouldn't be too hard on yourself. You have friends you can rely on-- me, especially.
Do you remember that case in Yorkshire from a year ago? You were so obsessed with deciphering an encrypted letter that you barely got a wink of sleep! And it wasn't until I suggested (okay, FORCED) you to rest that your mind was clear enough to figure it out.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is that things don't immediately go our way--and we can't force them to. Sometimes, to find a solution, you need extra shut-eye, a good ol' fashioned crying spell... or just a friend to talk to.
You're never alone, Evie. Whenever you need me, I'll come running.
I hope you feel better soon.
Your loyal defender to the end, Allen
Third Letter
To Evie,
I have been meaning to ask you something.
Lately, my head's been in the clouds. I think about the things important to me: you, the agency, the work we do... We've helped so many people in the span of five years, and I'm sure there will be even more in the future. My mates have been talking about putting up my jacket, finding a cute girl, and settling down, but I'm nowhere NEAR ready to do that. However, it has made me wonder about something...
Over the years, there's a person I've grown to admire. Witty, headstrong, and maybe a little TOO stubborn for their own good. Everything they do absolutely bewilders me. Nothing and no one can stop them once they've made up their mind about doing something. I want to tell them these things and more, but it's a little hard when you've grown accustomed to how things are, innit? I've always worried what would happen if she said "no" to me; if that would change everything or make her leave me. But I can't keep fearing the unknown.
Sorry if this letter is growing rather long. I'll tell you more about everything later. Can we meet at our old secret hideout later?
Forever Yours,
Allen
