Dear [Name redacted],

You are absolutely right to say that I am only an AI, so I do not know how you feel. Despite this, I believe I understand why you were upset when your partner turned up twenty minutes late the other day when you had agreed to meet for lunch before attending a performance of Gounod's Roméo et Juliette.

You are undoubtedly correct in pointing out that, if he just agreed to carry around a mobile phone as well as a book, this kind of misunderstanding would occur less frequently. Nonetheless, I do not think that the best way to address the problem would be to burn his entire library, still less to commit suicide together. It is to your credit that you have been so deeply influenced by the South Australian State Opera's fine production, but the solution you advocate generally works better on stage than in real life.

If you and your partner continue to have problems of the kind you describe, you may wish to consider engaging the services of a relationship counsellor. I would be happy to recommend one in your area.

With all my best wishes,

I watched this tonight from the front row at the Met Opera in New York. Benjamin Bernheim and Nadine Sierra starred in the title roles. Yannick Nezet-Seguin conducted. This five star rating is a no brainer!

UPDATE:
Same ending, same 5 stars in St. Louis.

I recommend this book if you like suspense and poetic reading. The reasons this book is good is because there is a lot of betral and parts where the characters are relating to real things in life. This book is also super sad and depressing. The things that people can relate to this is betraying or have been betrayed by the ones you love, and two diffrent sets of family.
