He stood from the table and reached into his internal pocket before producing a letter. Yes, in point of fact. This is for you, to read in your own time. I believe its of a personal nature so I will leave it in your capable hands, rest assured I haven't opened it. Now, my dear, if you will excuse me He said, leaving the sealed letter on the table before heading for the door.
Ross' eyebrows moved a little upwards as she saw the letter.
- You're excused, director. Untill next time. - she remained in her seat, watching him close the door as he left. She leaned forward and picked up the mysterious message, briefly looking over the piece of paper, then starting to read.
It has been quite some time since we spoke last. I apologise for the unusual methods chosen, but it would be highly inappropriate for me to directly message you, even though our two organisations are currently at peace. I hope you have been keeping well, although I imagine you've been busy, possibly more now than ever before.
It might be too forward of me to offer, but should you find yourself in need of a friend, I will be there, and I wish to extend an offer to you that, should you find yourself on Cambridge, you are more than welcome at my Home at any time.
Considering this is a rather old fashion form of communication and I doubt I will receive a reply any time soon I will say, plain as day: I miss you, and I should like to see you again, If possible, if convenient. Alfred mentioned something to me the other day that he believed to be appropriate in this letter Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. One of Tennyson's quotes, however I believe it is a little too...excessive. Rather, if you will permit it, I would leave you with this:
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you... I could walk through my garden forever
Caroline finished reading with a faint smile on her face, slowly folding the letter again. She looked at the piece of paper for a couple seconds, then putting it into her handbag. She let out a sigh upon seeing its contents, knowing well she couldn't really visit him right now. Maybe another time. She got up, shouldering her bag, and then left the conference room.
