Quote:Dear Elijah,

‘Average,’ he says! Had you been average, there would have been no temptation. I reminisce it almost as much as I reminisce the nights writing to you, and I suppose that is as sure a sign as any that that is where it should have remained.

You are a better man than I, then, Elijah. I brewed with such jealousy! Such frustration! Such loneliness at the knowledge you were still seeking whilst you had me. But now the shoe is on the other foot, and I see nothing but your grace and your pragmatism. You make me want to be a better man, Elijah – a man worth knowing, worth fighting for – as any good friend does. Much as I wish I had taken things as slow with you as I had my first love, our time was destined to be cut short and I am grateful we made what we did of it.

We should catch dinner together soon, my treat. I know a fabulous place not far from the villas, an Italian restaurant with a fantastic view. What is a good time for you, my dear friend?

Fondly,
-Zechariah
