Dean,

Hey there! Long time no talk! And, er, yes I was with Mac last night. And she's sort of the reason I can't meet Tuesday. We're going on a date you see, so I'm afraid you'll have to pick another day. I work at Mungo's during the actual day hours, but most nights I'm free.

Neville

P.S. Really great to hear from you!

Nev,

Of all the reasons to get blown off, that is one I can certainly get behind. Good luck!

Oh and if it's not too much of an imposition, could you mention to her that I would love to have her sit for me? I think she'd be a fascinating model.

I've enclosed a sketch I did last night while she was playing. I'd be interested in your opinion.

So, is Friday night good for you?

-D

Dean,

First, wow. I'd forgotten how amazing you are at catching people's expressions.

Could Would you Can I Is there any way I could maybe buy this from you? I'd really like to put it on my walls. They're a little empty at the moment.

Friday night is excellent. You're welcome here at my place, or we could venture out into the big, scary world. Just let me know.

Neville

OF COURSE I'll mention you want her to sit, if you can keep her still long enough. She's very... fidgety.

Neville,

Go ahead and keep it - I've still got the original.

We could meet at your place and decide if we want to venture out then.

Oh, and thanks. I plan on talking to... Mac, is it? I'm planning to talk to her myself next week, but if you could feel her out about it for me, I'd appreciate it.

-Dean
