⋅˚₊‧ ୨Love letters୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅

When the first letter turned up, no one really expected a sixteen day hunt, but here there was finding seb’s letters everywhere!

Folded slightly scruffily in their left pocket, hidden under their pillow they didn't even want to know how he got it in there! But they read each of them nonetheless... Of course they did, keeping them company in the cold loneliness of the Winter holidays...

One of the setbacks of their new found love letter hunt, was that they now checked every pocket, every nook, every pillow, every cranny where Sebastian would hide his letters before they did anything. They couldn't help but laugh every time at the simplicity yet oddness of it all....

To pass the time, they cleaned their bookshelves in the The Room of Requirement, dusting off the shelves and re-ordering the books. They did most of it absentmindedly as usual, four simple steps they'd repeated, grab a book, dust the cover, flick through the pages and put it back. All until they saw a book they didn’t recognise.

It wasn’t that hard to tell apart from the others and gold letters reading...

Romance Throughout the Ages.

Standing on their toes to reach it, they flicked through the pages, a note falling to the floor and landing on their shoes. They unfolded it, seeing seb’s familiar handwriting. Messy Cursive

To my dearest love,

This is my final letter, I’m sure you have enjoyed the hunt during my absence, but I will no longer be away from you. I do hope you liked the mystery, it was fun for me to put together. I wrote to you to inform you that I will be at the clock tower at six tonight, and I do hope you’ll be there... Please for me...?

Lots of love always, Your Sebastian Sallow.

Just like he said, Sebastian waited in the clock tower for them, and when they arrived, he grinned, there was stunning, smiling for him...
