Sarah, darling!
Got your note
oh lovely
couldn’t possibly make it over for the christening
as I’m simply swamped at the moment
(you may recall I was left at the altar
and have spent the intervening years reeling from the betrayal)
yes I remember
Wish terribly I could make it
but you know how it is
being jilted
Well
we’ll set out a piece of cake for you just in case
Please don’t worry about me
I’m surrounded by the ruins of an aching, hopeless love that’s slowly congealing into poison
so I’m keeping busy
much love to the baby
thank you
if it’s a boy I hope you drown it
