Summary
It struck him as odd that he didn’t hear from her, not even once, the entire time he had been away; he had written to her, letter after letter, all that he had seen while he was away like he had done on his first tour, but every letter had gone unanswered.
Part of him could have given up, but there was a feeling in him that he should not. So, he continued writing. He told her everything he could, and asked after her health, her wellbeing, her happiness. He wrote promises that if he had done something wrong, he could work to rectify it. It would not do to have a rift in their friendship. It was much too important to him.
In the back of this carriage, he wonders about his friend, with her curling red hair and her rosy cheeks. He hopes that she is well.
He hopes—
Well, he isn’t sure what he hopes. Something must have occupied her time for the off-season, had taken away from her quills and her paper, had taken her away from him.
An odd thought, he thinks. She isn’t his, to begin with. She is his friend. And still, there is something so bothersome about not hearing from her. It was common to feel unsettled about not hearing from one’s friend, of that, he is sure.
