Subject: Last night.

We went for a walk after meeting by chance, you were far too drunk to enjoy the evening properly, we agreed that I should take you home. You wanted me to stay, so I did, until you slept. I finished the gin while I waited. A decent drycleaner should be able to get the grass-stains out of your clothes.

Regards,
Paul

How chivalrous of you. I'll keep that in mind when you replace that very expensive bottle you so graciously finished. Perhaps, I will even split it with you.

And the clothes, they've already been taken care of. But, that's not the point. It was the principle of the matter, you should know that designer clothing deserves fine care. There's an old model's superstition. Designer clothes have a way of plotting together when they believe they've been wronged or mismatched. You'd do well to heed that.

And I think more happened last night than you're letting on. If only, it didn't hurt to try and remember at the moment.

My only principles won't let me apologize for trammelling your superstitions underfoot in my attempt to be politic. There should be a delivery* for you any time now, ordered so as not to interfere with any extended rest you might have wanted, that might make up for my transgression in helping myself to your gin. In my defense, the lid was long-gone and it would have been a shame to let the rest of the bottle go to waste.

As for the rest, it is irrelevant to me if it is to you. If it is not, you know where I am.

*OOC: This will be an arrangement of white ginger flowers (http://www.ericandleandra.com/garden/ourgarden/deck02/april2/pages/ginger.html) and a replacement bottle of gin and a note that reads: To your health. -Vega

Irrelevant to me? Well, now I am worried. What could I have possibly done for you to make a comment such as that?

God, I didn't mean it. Thank you for the flowers. Will you accept an apology from a silly girl who can't handle her habit?

The flowers seemed appropriate, your room needed a little something. Besides, just sending you a fresh bottle of gin seemed a little enabling. As to the rest, water under the bridge.
