Title: Just the Thought of You Rating : G Recipient: Duke Vedris Notes (and any Warnings): After Magic Steps.
My dear Duke,
Normally (and don’t wrinkle your nose; I am too old to put on virginal airs, and you are sweet but we both know it is true), I would be coy and amusing and write about words like devotion and exotic ideals of fluttering hearts and what-have-you. I would write a poem, or at least mention one in the course of the letter, or wax on about the beauty of the sunset or flowers floating on the pond outside the Jade Palace, where I once danced. Once I was done, I would sprinkle the envelope with perfume, to make you think of me, and send it on its way.
But today, my Vedris, I was standing in the studio, watching two of my students practice when I thought of you. And just the passing mention of your name in my mind made me smile until I covered my mouth and laughed at myself, a little.
So this is scribbled on the back of a card left by a noble wanting classes, and the thumbprint is dust from the floors and my handstands, and I don’t have perfume (or an envelope to spray it on, anyway) but I wanted you to know that just the thought of you makes me happy.
And I hope this letter has made you smile.
Love,
Yazmin

Oh, that is so sweet and lovely!! I especially like that Yazmin is acknowledging her romantic past, and pointing out how different her relationship with the Duke is. Are you going to write His Grace's reply??

Awww, this is so sweet! I love how forthright Yazmin is, and how different their relationship is from 'normally'. ♥

indifferentred: I wasn't going to, but since you made me think of it, I will.
