Quote:Dear Elijah,

I partook in slightly more that evening because I had the company of someone beautiful, inside and out. In hindsight, what a terrible idea! We likely could have had a pleasant eve with wine and cheese alone.

Before you entertain further ideas of harbors and romantic ideals of a purely platonic ideal … I must tell you something. I am now engaged. I had put out an ad quite some time ago, and paid it in advance so long ago I hardly even remembered it let alone expected someone to answer it. She made a very compelling argument over a barrel that involved a fiasco of my own making.

I know not what this means for our friendship, but I cherish it still.

-Zechariah
