Megan has moved away to a dream house in the Blue Ridge mountains with a man who is now her fiance, which is very exciting, of course, but also very sad. Her internet connection is not the best, so we mostly communicate via text message these days. However, the love of perfume and costume dramas has not waned for either of us, as evidenced by our text messaging correspondence from yesterday:

Kerry: Suddenly bored with my old lineup except for [ Miss Dior Cherie ].  I ran out of [ Chanel Chance ] Eau Fraiche this morning and was bummed out. Trying out [ Chanel Chance ] Eau Tendre,  [ Paco Rabbone ] Lady Million and [ Versace ] Versense to see if I want them in my rotation.

Megan: ( In [ the style of ] costume drama letter from a loved one being read by protagonist but narrated aloud ) I am happy to report I'm still wildly in love with Versace. But let me state the particular name of my interest so that I make plain my meaning; it is Bright Crystal – could it have been another? At another time or place perhaps, another was in my favor, but at present I can scarce remember a single scent beyond my brightest gem, full of sparkle, yet delicate & modest.

I am happily surprised at our reuniting in the country when the city had seen our love in ruins. Oh, I am the happiest of perfume wearers!

Kerry: Dearest Megan – I can't tell you how satisfied I am to hear this wonderful news! I have always been of the opinion that your Crystal quite suited you and was, myself, nearly ill when I heard of how the dirt and depression of industry had affected it so. Perhaps some of my former suitors could do with a bit of country air themselves!

Megan: Indeed, goodly done & LOL heartily!
