Sarah,

Emma's invited me to.. quite the party. One of Selene's, actually, but it's more of a formal club function.. see, this nice shiny invitation of mine has a plus-one on it, and if you think you could survive me in a nice suit for a night.. want to go?

My father will be there. We can mock him from afar. It'll be fun, I promise. And really, I'd just.. like to have you there for this. For that matter, Emma perked when I mentioned I'd be inviting you, and was quite insistant that I somehow bribe you into it.

It's on the 29th (don't you love Leap Years?), so just let me know. Shopping might be in order, but we can get me something to make up for making you dress up. Hell if I know what yet, but, we'll think of something.

Love you.

Um. Formal. Formal Hellfire Club Function. Me, at a Formal Hellfire Club Function. Are you out of your mind?!? As much as mocking your father sounds like fun, there has to be an easier way than dragging me to something I'm not going to belong at, by any stretch of the imagination.

What's this for anyway?

I think you and I have established that I'm at least a little nuts, yes.. but Emma wants you there, too, so it must be catching. Besides, belonging is a state of mind - knowing the Hellfire Club as intimately as I do, I think you'd fit right in.

I'm, um, to be made White Bishop during the course of the evening. The party's kind of for me. Well, and Manuel, too, technically, but..

Um. Are you sure you want /me/ there?

It kind of is, yeah. I'm sure it'll sink in just before I get there, so I can be nervous as all hell.

I'm sure I want you there. I love you - why wouldn't I want you there?

I guess we can be nervous as hell together. I'll hold your hand if you hold mine.

...what do I wear?

You're the best, Sarah. There shall be hand holding, and I promise I'll try not to break yours in the process.

I'm beginning to think you have a secondary mutation that sends my reason packing. It's the only way I can explain my decision to go with you. And don't worry about breaking my hand. It'll heal.

Too late. She's probably picked up on it by now. I am so doomed. DOOMED.
