Private message to Raz

Raz, love. Thank you again for being so careful caring with me the last week, in every possible way. I can’t begin to tell you how much that’s mattered.

But in that spirit, well.

I adore the new telescope: truly, it’s exactly the thing I’d been wanting since I knew that the new line was coming out, it’s everything I hoped and more, and I’m so looking forward to digging into new research with it. But at the same time, I know perfectly well just how much what it cost.

And you know I can’t ever reciprocate a gift like that, don’t you? No matter how much I want to, and I do, I can’t come close to doing something like that, or that casually. And while I know things are different for you, it’s hard to receive something like that, and I should have turned it down, and I just couldn’t

Am I making any sense?

The pendant is lovely too, and I can’t stop reaching up to touch it, and think of you. And such a perfect design, making me think of all the orbits and circles and patterns.

Thank you, love, for a Christmas far beyond my wildest dreams. The time together and your love would have been more than enough, truly. (And still New Year’s weekend to look forward to!)

I had a feeling this was coming.

I understand why you have some mixed feelings about accepting it, but let me as you this...when's the last time you were able to put some galleons away for that telescope when you were saving up to buy it yourself?
