Dear Alessandra (or must I address you as Your Majesty in private, too?), Only as I write this do I realize that we’ve spent so much of our lives conversing through letters. We’ve always written to each other on birthdays and special occasions. Or when we had something to gloat about. I would like to change that. I’m not writing to you today to gloat or send along fake well-wishes. I’m not entirely sure why I’m writing at all. But I enjoyed seeing you at your wedding.
