Writing for Company

[Aria Beauclaire nee Rinaldi]

To Signor Gioavanni,

This letter might come as a surprise as the last time we spoke was that time I owl'd you for company over drinks.

I honestly do not know why I am writing again. But for some odd reason, you keep me from drowning in my own thoughts and memories of things I should no longer think every second of every day. Its a bit humorous that it had been someone who I knew for less than a few hours back when we met at the park, had been able to lighten the burden I have been carrying since the passing of my husband and child. I don't think I have every thanked you for it... so thank you. Those words you have told me back then had helped and when I recall them makes everything seem just a bit better than before.

Aside from that, how are you? In truth, I also wrote because the people I am surrounded with aren't really the type of people who will understand what I'm going through. Personality wise, we seem to clash and so the best thing we all do is stay off each other's way. Thus having someone to speak with is not something we have here.

Sincerely,

Aria Beauclaire

Dear Ms. Aria Beauclaire,

Sometimes one should not wonder too much. Whatever reason it is that you wrote me does not matter. I was glad to receive your letter. You are right to say it was rather odd how two strangers managed to lighten up each other's day. But it is also a beautiful thing. I loved seeing you smile, it was a rare moment but mesmerizing in its own way. If you ever want to talk do not hesitate to invite me to meet at a certain point, since I am limited when it comes to sending letters. But may you need my company I will come. Hopefully this does not sound weird to you but I feel like this world needs less suffering. And if I can help someone with this, I will be glad I can still be of use in my old days.

Things are well enough here, I have no reason to complain on my current state. How do you fair? If you feel like you need an escape, do not hesitate.

Sincerely,

Giovanni

Dear Signor Giovanni,

Please,call me Aria. No need to be formal even in writing.

I am glad that my letter was well received for I doubted that you would not wish to hear from me as I complain and talk too often than most people. And as for you compliment, thank you. Now a days, it is only my brother who makes me smile when he finds time to even speak with me. He has far too many troubles to deal with lately I fear I might not see him as much as I wish too.

It is not strange to hear that you too wish to make this world less gloomy as it curently is. But such happiness is always followed by sadness as one cannot be without the other no matter what. Balance is always there and nothing is ever too much without the other to walk in its wake soon after.

I am glad that you are well. As for me, it is hard to answer as some days are better than the others. Moods change daily, or in my case, hourly as my students vary from the intelligent to the... less gifted. I am half debating on your offer of escape, even if for just a few hours. But alas, travelling to London from where I am is quite difficult at the moment.

However, if you offer still stands by Yule, I would be glad to have you as company once more?

Sincerely,

Aria
