QUOTE : My dearest Violet,<br /><br /><br />A belated birthday gift along with my regrets for not celebrating as we should have.<br /><br /> All my love,<br /> C<br /><br />Tears filled her eyes as she touched her chest where the locket rested beneath her clothing. She wore it still because she couldn't forget the morning he had given it to her, nor how she had felt, dumbstruck and silly with her love for him. A terrible but true way to describe the sheer bliss that had surrounded them. Blinking away the tears, she unwrapped the package revealing four books: <i>Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Agnes Gray,</i> and <i>The Tenant of Windfell Hall.</i> A quick examination revealed them to be all first editions.<br />Dropping into the chair, she read his note again two more times. Her finger traced the <i>C</i>. As much as she despised what he had done, she couldn't stop herself from missing him.
