Elphie Returns

The Letter

Elphaba woke up the next morning to a knock on the front door, nearly falling to the floor.
Glinda climbed out of bed while muttering, "that better not be Boq again."
She opened the door, fixing her gown and trying her best to make it look like an actual dress.
A member of the Gale Force stood staright and tall, holding out a crisp, white envelope.
Glinda thanked the officer and opened the letter as she walked back to her room.
"Who's it from?" Elphaba asked curiously.
"I don't know. I don't recognize the address," Glinda responded, showing it to her.
Elphaba gasped. "That's where my father lives!"
Glinda pulled out the letter.
It read:

Dear Miss Glinda Uppland,
I have just heard news that Elphaba has returned. I do not know whether or not it was a rumor, but i can only hope she is alive.
If she is alive, i was wondering if i can see her. There are many years of regret and forgiveness i owe her.
If she is not alive, i am sorry for disturbing you and bringing her name up.
And to Elphaba. I love you very much. Since Nessa the only family member i have talked to is Shell, and he often leaves due to his missions. I miss you. Please forgive me.
With my deepest respect,
Frexspar Thropp.

Elphaba read the letter over and over.
So many questions popped into her head, but the biggest one of them all was, how did he hear that i was here?
"How did he hear that i was here?" Elphaba asked.
"I don't know, if Boq told him i will murder him," Glinda said.
"Maybe it was Shell! He is a spy, afterall," Ephaba offered.
They were quiet for a moment.
"Do you want to go visit your father?" Glinda murmered.
Elphaba took a deep breath. "I think i do, but not yet. I just got here and i don't want to leave."
"I understand. How about we go downstairs and get something to eat? I'm starving!" Glinda told.
Elphaba laughed. "There she is! There's the woman i know and love! Let's go."
