Dear Violet,

I'll keep your dress safe here and Calum said he'll do the same with Sage's. It's a shame you won't be able to join for his birthday, but I hope you have the greatest time on yours. Would I get in trouble for sending you a small gift for the occasion?

Since Calum's Birthday won't work, I want to invite you to Gratzitakken Fest. It's a bit far away, at the end of March. I'm not sure how you would call it in English but it's a celebration of the treaty made between La Gracía, Whindchester, and Australia. And, frankly, it may be the last one since we're moving toward national independence. We typically all hang out at Camellia after, and you'd be welcome to join too.

It probably sounds dull, and maybe it is, but as a Prince I have to participate in a ceremonial joust against Ashton. At the very least, it might be fun to watch me make a fool of myself and get lanced off my horse. Plus, the mulled cider is tremendous.

After the afterparty, Cal told me you had mentioned a TV show you watch to him called Friends? Out of curiosity, I ordered the seasons that are out so far and they finally arrived. I've started it but I'm only five episodes in. So far my favorite character is Phoebe, and I'm curious who yours is? I have a sneaking suspicion I already know, but I want to know from you.

I've talked with Mum, Father and Ashton about the story being on the cover and no one has objected; it's up to you.

How are you? And how's Harry Potter going now?

Warm Regards,

Luke
