"Diane my love , my life , my beloved when I first met you it was love at first sight and at the moment I knew I had to make you mine it does not matter to me your status or wealth as all I see when I see you is a proper and elegant lady that I would one day marry and be blessed to call you my wife. So will you do me the utmost honour of becoming my wife?" Edward asked looking into Diane eyes, while his face was gleaming under the brightly lit stars.

" I-I" Diane stuttered with in an unsteady voice but her eyes bled with the emotions she could not say.
Edward is large smile and look of happiness soon turned to look of concern he wsure she would have leaped into his arms and said yes to his proposal but when she didn't his heart slightly broke and her at the thought that she might not want to be with him.
Soon his face turned to a look of longing and pleading hoping that he would say yes and they would be together forever.

To my dearest Edward it pains me to to say so but I refuse to marry you , I will not subject you to the ridicule and embarrassment of being married to a lower-class woman I would do you a favor and rid you of me for at the stroke of midnight I will die by my own hand and rid myself of my unhappiness and cruel life , I just hope that you will be able to move on and find another.
Sincerely Diane
