““The message was sealed with a blob of wax but no press of a signet. She slid a finger beneath to crack the seal, and read: I apologize if I’ve ever behaved like an ass. It was the most romantic message she’d ever received. All other messages would strive to live up to it for the rest of her days. She was convinced of that in the moment.””
