August 8th 2012
Daphne was sorting through the mail and found a neat letter from Elizabeth followed by one addressed to herself in unfamiliar handwriting. She walked inside the house and sat down at the dinning table before opening Elizabeth's letter to her
------------------------------------------
Daphne,
I told them. I know you probably wanted to have a say in when I told them but Liam was asking why I was so down on mum's birthday and all the boys were there and I told them what happened to mum and dad.
I didn't cry thought. So that's progress I guess. Liam hugged me and I think telling him made our relationship stronger. All the boys offered their condolences. Oddly enough the one person even more upset than I was, was Louis.
I know you're coming back on the 28th and I'm not supposed to say anything about him but I kinda broke your rules.
You said he couldn't see or hear from you. But you didn't say anything about him writing you.
I would be expecting a letter soon.
Love
Beth
P.S. Can't wait to see you sis!

Daphne put down the letter and stared at the other one for a few minutes.
Might as well find out.

Daffodil,
(I can still call you that right?)
Sorry this letter is so rushed but I wanted you to get it as soon as possible. Elizabeth told us about your parents.
At first I was angry you didn't tell me, and then I heard your voice in my head reminding me we still don't know each other all that well. That's been happening a lot lately. Maybe I really am going bonkers. Bonkers for you that is.
Wow that was cheesy.
After that I was still angry. I was angry that you had to take on all that alone. You had to grow up so fast. I always say I'll never grow up but I don't know what I'd do If I was left in charge of my sisters.
Probably kidnap you and force you to marry me to take care of all of us.
Kidding.
I just want to say I'm sorry for your loss and that I still think I'm falling in love with you.
Strike that I am in love with you.
August 28th needs to come sooner.
Love,
Louis Tomlinson (Your future husband)
Too much?

After reading that Daphne wasn't sure if she was dreading or avidly anticipating the 28th.
