Dear Melissa,<br />
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I had some business that needed tending to.<br />
But it looks like it’s all more or less in order now--at least, as much as it can be for the<br />
moment. It's sweet of you to offer to visit my aunt with me, but you really don't have to.<br />
Wait. Stop. I know what you're going to say. So to cut you off at the chase, might I suggest<br />
that we do it tomorrow evening, if you don't already have plans?<br />
And I think I will take this opportunity to discuss something that has been weighing<br />
somewhat heavily on my conscience ever since we met: <strong>The</strong> great debt I owe you for<br />
saving my aunt's life. Stop. Again, I know what you're going to say. But the fact of the<br />
matter is, you did exactly that. <strong>The</strong> police told me so. So although it is rather an inadequate<br />
means of expressing my immense gratitude and appreciation for what you did, I was hoping that<br />
you'd let me take you out to dinner some night. And since I know how deeply this will offend your<br />
Midwestern sensibilities, I am prepared to let you pick the restaurant, lest you worry that I<br />
might choose a place destined to bankrupt me. Think it over and let me know. As you are aware,<br />
my evenings are, thanks to Paco, quite free from seven until eleven--eleven thirty when I forget<br />
to fill his water bowl.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
John<br />
