PS: The peach cobbler you made for Sunday lunch was amazing. I’d love the recipe.
Text from Josephine to Izzy:I’ll give you the recipe if you stop calling me Josie.
Izzy:Never mind. I’ll consult the library or Google for a recipe. Thanks anyway, Josie.

Heart-to-Heart
Date: February20
Good riddance to the Witch-king of Angmar, is all I have to say.
And I’m glad to see you’re on the mend after helping to save Middle-earth, but joining Heart-to-Heart? I find it difficult to believe things didn’t work out with Faramir, even though he had a tendency to look down on my countrymen at first, but that really couldn't be helped.
He was my favorite character, apart from Samwise Gamgee.

Penelope,
Someone messaged me on Heart-to-Heart, and he had no qualms about my sword.
And he knew who Faramir was. I’m intrigued. I might message him back, but I’m not certain yet. He knows aboutThe Lord of the Rings. That’s a definite plus in his favor. I wonder if he’s short? Or has hairy feet?

Izzy,
Who is Faramir? Is he the audiologist Josephine wants you to meet? What an unusual name. Is it Indian? And why in the world would you think he has hairy feet? That’s just gross.
Oh dear, why are you always talking about that book series? Can’t you become obsessed with another type of ring to change yourrealworld instead of a fantasy one? (Though, I am a bigproponent of imagination. And imaginary worlds, as you well know. Just recall my excellent part as Dorothy Gale in sixth grade. If I hadn’t tripped over the Cowardly Lion’s tail, it would have been a perfect performance.)
But I am proud of you for messaging the guy back. Maybe he’ll be nice, at the very least. Maybe online is a perfect way for you to meet Mr.Right. You’ve always been excellent with writing and reading words, even if you don’t necessarily like speaking them as often.
Penelope
PS: Make sure he’s not married, but his height really shouldn’t matter, Izzy.
