Dearest Louis,

I write to you with the sole purpose of returning what you once thought I deserved. Le dévotion de Duval has been one of the most precious gifts I've ever received. Not only for its immeasurable value and history, but for what it represents. Yet, I do not believe myself worthy of such sentiments and affections on your part.

I humbly ask you to please accept it back, and hold on to it until you find its true owner. I am sure she is somewhere out there.


With love & gratitude,

Your eternal friend,
Camille

Mother,

I have turned down Louis' proposal and returned the Duval family heirloom he generously gifted me. I ask you to please understand my decision. I simply cannot turn away from what my heart desires.
I am sorry you had to.

With Love,

Your Daughter.

Sebastian,

I went to find you at the infirmary after the second task. I was relieved to find you healing. I myself am unharmed. I believe you are better since when I went back to the hospital wing after stepping out for a moment I didn't find you there anymore.
I will be in the greenhouse later. Will you come and give me a hand? I'll be waiting.

Love,

Camille

----------
Sebastian,

I believe you have grown tired of being surrounded by flowers and plants, as you did not came to find me yesterday. It's alright! Would you rather we meet in the Underground Harbour? I will be there later today.

Please, come find me.

Yours truly,
Camille

Sebastian,

I do not know what keeps you from writing back or coming to see me. But I am sure it must be something of importance. Do so when you find a chance. Please.

Camille.

Sebastian,
There is something Important I must say to you that cannot be relayed on parchment.
What I can say is, I miss you. These past cloudy days I have found myself trying to find the sun, as it reminds me of you. But the sun seems determined to escape my gaze. As are you.

I hope I can see you soon.

Sebastian,

The Lily of the valley we found that night seems sad. I am afraid I might be doing something wrong. But I am determined to care for it.
It reminds me of that night. Of you.

I miss your helping hands at the Greenhouse.

Love,

Camille.

Sebastian,

How are you? I have heard not a word from you in days. Is everything alright? That's all I wish to know.

Sebastian,

My nightmares have gotten worse lately. Is it improper to say that the only peaceful sleep I have had in years was that night I slept in your shoulder while the moon shined down on us?
------------
Sebastian,

I find myself unable to think of nothing else. The only thing that gives me a glimpse of hope is that I know these letters are being delivered.
I thought I saw you today, in the multitude. Perhaps it was my imagination, or wishful thinking.
-----------
Sebastian,

It's foggy today. But I still see you everywhere.
Without sunlight, the moon can't shine.
----------
Camille sent eleven letters.
But she received only one.

---------
I wish to talk.
