Keish to Jace-- February 12, 2004

February 12, 2004


Dear Jace,

It’s done. I’ve been before the king and now all I can do is wait. Whatever the outcome, I feel proud to have come this far. I feel like I’ve grown up. I wish you could be here-- I’m so nervous. I would love to have your strength, but your support is enough.

I’m going to start a letter to Arri. I need to reassure her that the Rousha rumors are under control!

As soon as I know the King’s decision, I’ll finish this and send it off.



February 13

The decision has been made-- we won! Master Byra will oversee the project and we have one year to make it work. I’m nervous, but I believe we can do it.

There will be a celebration tonight. I wish you were here. I’m actually excited about a palace event, but there will still be something missing. I know you have responsibilities at home. I don’t want you to feel guilty, I just miss you.

There will be so much work to do, but I think most of it will start after my birthday.



There’s something else, too, that you need to know. I wish you were here to tell you-- a letter just doesn’t seem enough. But now that I’m sure,, I can’t not tell you, not when I don’t know when I’ll see you.

I guess I’ve known for a while now, I just didn’t think about it.

Anyway, I guess the ball really confirmed it. The ball and then having to come home without you.



I love you.



Love



Keish
