Dear Ella,
Hi how are you? I bet life is heaven now that you are living with Char in his castle and travling the world with him. Do you have any kids? Does Mandy live with you? Does Lucinda still give people curses? Did you ever talk to Arienda again? I wish you could answer all of my questions but oh well.
I wish I could ride on Chars staircase with you that sounds like a lot of fun. I hope that someday You get to beat up those stepsisters of yours because I really want to.
Tell Char I said hello!
Sincerely ,
Morgan
