We have known each other for such a long time, and you have always treated me with such kindness and love. I have appreciated that particularly during the last few months, when I have felt very supported ,and very loved.

I know that you give yourself a tough time, but I did want to take a moment to congratulate you on the level to which you know your characters, the care that you take with the details, and how well realised they are all. Camilla is a DIFFICULT character, and you write her so very, very well. Grantaire has always been deeply lovely, too and I like the way you give your characters room to grow and develop. Basically, it's lovely to watch, and I hope you go easy on yourself this year ♥
