Dearest Cousin,
Before you ask, yes, I can just simply walk back into the country and owl you casually as if I haven't been MIA for the past few months; don't even question it.
How've you been? You ready for the wedding bells yet? Or should I push Saoirse a little when I see her?
What's been happening in my absence here? Do fill me in?
Yours lovingly,
Muirin.

Dear Muirin,
Well, I know you can because clearly, you did. That doesn't necessarily make it acceptable. Does your dad know you're back? In fact, did he even know you'd gone?
I've been good, thanks. How was your trip? Not a lot's been going on to be honest. Work's been as interesting as ever, and family stuff's been strangely quiet. And if you want to ring wedding bells, ring them for Nevin - he's the one who's engaged, remember?
Love, Jethro

Dear Jethro,
Well you just did accept it, technically, by replying to me; so. I don't think so; I haven't owled him yet/. He knew very well that I'd be out of country for a while; I'm not that irresponsible, you know?
Not the best trip, but not bad either. A couple of my friends tried to hook me up with this guy. He was damn good looking too; pity I made this stupid vow to not date a guy I don't know very well. Quiet is good, Jethro. Ah, who cares about people who are already engaged? That's boring stuff; and anyway, he never even told me he got engaged so I'm going to pretend I don't know.
And stop distracting me from your love life, will you?
Love,
Muirin.

Muirin,
How exactly does me writing to you make your actions acceptable? I think your logic's flawed there. I'd suggest writing to him - you know he worries about you.
Wait, you made a vow? Well, that's good, I suppose. But there's no harm in going on a date with someone you don't know well - that's what dates are for, Muirin, to get to know someone. I didn't know Saoirse well when I asked her out the first time. The point is that a few dates or hook ups don't make a committed relationship, which is where you're going wrong, I think.
That's not very nice - poor Nevin, does he get no interest in his approaching nuptials? And I'm not getting engaged any time soon, so you may as well stop going on about it, because it's not going to make it happen any sooner.
Love Jethro

Dear Jethro,
Well it means you're ready to accept and move on with what I've done which, on some lever makes what I did right. Yeah, yeah, I know; though he shouldn't worry all that much. I did inform him beforehand.
I knew you'll be much pleased Jethro. Nah, I think I'll stay off dating for a bit now; I need to get my life straight before I dare anything.
Where's the thrill, Jethro? And he never told me, or asked me about it. He doesn't care about me; neither do I respond. Simple. Oh, that's what they all say; I'd bet you'll be walking about with a ring box in your pocket in a few months' time, or maybe you already are, who knows?
Love,
Muirin.

Dear Muirin,
Well, I'm quite pleased to know that your moral compass is determined by what I find acceptable, so I'm going to let the rest of it pass. You should probably still write, or he'll start going at me about it again.
Okay, fair enough. Getting your life straight's a reasonable reason not to date, I suppose. You just watch out though - I might start getting my revenge by trying to set you up with people.
Just think though - two people getting ready to spend the rest of their lives together. All that romance - like a fairytale ending. And I hate to break it to you, but I'm not really surprised that Nevin didn't bother to ask you before he got engaged...
No I am not, and if you dare say anything like that to Saoirse, I swear I'll strangle you, Muirin Anglesey.
Love, Jethro
