Letter to Abel on leaving Paradisa
My dearest Abel,
I am sorry that once again I had to leave your side, I can only hope that we have spent many days and nights together before you have to read this note. We both know the nature of this world, so try to hold faith that this is not goodbye and that I will return to you after I escape the clutches of my evil kidnapper once more (he's really quite persistent)!
I love you with all my heart and soul, words that don't seem adequate on a piece of paper like this. I wonder if you remember the night of the celebrations after the East Command of the Mars Colony was established? You were drunk and glowering at the side of the hall, looking uncomfortable in your dress uniform. I thought you looked very handsome, and I won't forget your blush when I told you so. I've always loved that blush, from back when we were young to the admirable lobster red you managed to achieve in later life. It's a little thing, and perhaps silly, but it always warmed my heart to see it.
It's one of so many things that make you the man I love, things I know you can't see for yourself. From the big things like your generosity and love, to the little things like your blush or the way I felt when you held me close. I wish that you would keep trying to see these things, to remember that I (and so many of your friends) would not love you without good reason. You often say that I taught you things, I hope you realise that you did the same for me. You taught me that it truly is never too late, and that my favourite food was pancakes.
There is no greater blessing than to be your wife; and even though I will miss you, I cannot help but be proud of all the good you will do without me there. The people in this castle rely on you more than you might know, and I can't think of better hands to leave them in. Never forget that I love you with all my heart. I know we will see each other again one day, and until then I am always beside you in spirit.
Your wife,
Lilith
P.S. The kidnapper will only accept payment in chocolate, so be sure not to store the ransom money anywhere too warm.
