Izzy,
I thought you would have gotten used to snoring dogs after living in our house for so many years. You did share a room with Josephine for a while.
Luke
PS: Would you confirm whether you’ve been kidnapped or not? I have dibs on Samwise.

Luke,
I would remind you that I had a deviated septum in my younger years. It has since been corrected so I can assure you I do not sound anything remotely like your snoring dog.
And, Izzy, did you sign up for that phone-tracing site I sent to you? If you are kidnapped, we can find you and bring you back to Eli. I feel certain he would overlook your sudden wanderlust for a man who comes from an island that no one has ever heard of before. Of course you’re nervous—just as I expected. The jacket I gave to you to pack? The rain jacket? Just remember, it can also be a floatation device.

Josephine,
If she’s kidnapped, I doubt she’ll even see our emails, but good try on the floatation device.

Izzy!!!!
Why would you even bring up the pipe at Grandpa Edgewood’s house?! Do you realize I had to sleep with a nightlight for threeyears after that incident and couldn’t get in the bathtub without anxiety? The only reason I tried to fit into it is because Luke told me the pipe was the way to Wonderland. I’ve never listened to him about pipes since.
I can’t wait to see your photos of Skymar and Brodie and cliffs. My internship professor said she should be able to give me an answer about transferring from Scotland to Skymar by next week! Just imagine if you end up marrying Brodie and I end up interning there! You’ll have someone to help you pick out trendier clothes. I have a red cloche that would look fantastic with your dark hair. Think of all the cute boots we could wear in a place that stays mostly winter!
