All's Well

Wow, uh... it's been a while since I've written one of these. I didn't realize how busy I've been, I guess-but I'll save the lengthy recap; the people who really need to know everything already know

That's wonderful, Mr. Wright. I'm glad to hear that you're doing so well lately and that you've found someone you seem to truly cherish. I'm very happy for you!

Though I have to admit, I... would never have pegged you as the poker type. Or the piano type, for that matter.

I'm afraid I don't know many babysitters--any, really--and I'm fairly busy myself so I don't think I could do it too often... but I'm always be willing to look after Trucy if you'd need! She's an absolute darling.

I hope you stay well, Mr. Wright!

Thanks, Adrian. I'll keep you in mind if there's an emergency, but yeah, I don't want to trouble you too often.

And I can understand not expecting me to be a pianist--I don't consider myself one either, really--but you didn't think I'd be the poker type either? You should come by the Gust again sometime and play a few hands.

[glass_andrews]

Well, I can give you my schedule if you'd like... I'm sure we could work something out in a pinch if you needed.

And... poker? Er, I suppose I'm familiar enough with the rules of the game, but--well, I've never really thought about it!

Um, ever. At all, honestly.

I--I suppose there's a first time for everything, though...!

[wrightswrongs]

There's no need for a schedule; I'll let you know in advance should something come up.

Everyone's more or less familiar with the basics of poker--you should be fine. If you do drop by the Gust, I'll help you with the more advanced techniques.

[wrightswrongs]

Hmm... I guess you're definitely an option, kid. Though I wouldn't want to work you too hard--you're already interning at Gavin's office by day, aren't you?

[wrightswrongs]

Alright, if you're sure--and if you and Tru click.

I hope you're not expecting to get paid a lot, though... I'm not exactly playing poker for money.

Since you left Hazakura, my head has been filled with thoughts of you...

I am fortunate to have your love.

"Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours."

[wrightswrongs]

Rissie...

No, I'm the lucky one, to have you.

I was trying to find a good quote for you too... but none of the ones I could find seemed to fit how wonderful you are.

Do you still remember that day we sat in the library for hours and read poetry to each other until all the people sitting near us ran off...? There were a few good ones there. I wish I still remembered what they were...

[sixpetals]

Yes, I do remember that. And do you remember the book with the collection of famous love letters from history?

I borrowed it from the Ivy University library, and... I never did get a chance to return it. There was no opportunity for me to... although, I must confess a little: I didn't want to. It was a remainder of our days together...

"I shall go to bed without you, sleep without you. Let me sleep, I beg you. For several nights I have felt you in my arms; a happy dream, but it is not you."

[wrightswrongs]

Wow... who wrote that?

I remember that book... You checked it out the very week everything happened. We had no idea what was coming, then...

It's funny how that quote applies to us now as much as ever. Only now, I know I can have you in my arms again, soon...

I think you are a really good piano player, sir! Mr. Marshall was really smart to hire you!

...Thanks, Maggey.

Poker...? I hope that you aren't illegally gambling.

[wrightswrongs]

And if I was...?

[miles_distant]

If you were, I see a vice detective very often who might have a problem with it. I'm sure you wouldn't enjoy her interrogation.

But seriously, a two-month winning streak? Your poker face must have improved.

[wrightswrongs]

Ah, yes. Don't worry, I'm not giving Ms. Starr any reason to speak to me in private.

I wasn't that bad at poker to begin with, really--but some practice, some studying, and some training with Tru has really helped.

...You interested in playing?
