Dear Angela, I’m so happy to know that you and Robert are

finally

engaged. It feels like just yesterday when you were asking me for advice about whether he was the one meant for you. I can’t wait to see you in your wedding dress! I know you’re currently busy preparing for your engagement party, and of course, starting your wedding preparations, so forgive me in advance for adding to the stress. Unfortunately, I can't make it to your engagement party because it coincides with my comprehensive exams for my master's. I tried rescheduling, but my dean says there are no other available dates

this

semester. But don’t worry about your wedding day! I have enough accumulated leave at work for that. In the meantime, I’ll be sending my engagement gift via courier. It’s the beautiful scarf we saw in Milan, the one we saw after talking about you and Robert’s compatibility! My friend had a recent business trip there, so I asked him to purchase it. I’m telling you now so that you can use it at the party. Think of it as an assurance of a match made in heaven! That’s all for now. Post pictures of everything! Love, Lily

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
