My Dearest Philip, I have found the faerie Gate, on this, the eve of my deadline. I must open it tonight, even if it means turning to a breed of magic that I swore I’d never use. I will open it, and then, at last, I will finally be free of my debt, free to return to you. We shall be married as we had planned, and I will never depart from your side again. With all my love, Fiona
