Page 30 of Love, Will

Chapter 7

“I do love you more than words can wield the matter.”

-King Lear

“My love,

I am sorry for delaying my visit. The celebration of my coming of age was prolonged, and the Queen has invited me to stay another week, which, as you know in my situation, I could not refuse.

It is great to finally be seen as a mature Earl; I have been introduced to some skilled knights, one of whom turned out to be my good friend, the Earl of Essex. I cannot wait for you to meet him. He will give you great inspiration for your plays. He is all a knight should be.

In hope to be with you again soon,

Henry”

“My dearest,

Please do not concern yourself with delaying your visit. Your duty is of utmost importance and I will dream of you every night until you return.

I adore you with my soul,

W”

“My dearest,

I am to travel to my estates for some economic matters that surged after mother’s marriage and need to be resolved urgently. I hope to return within two weeks.

I miss your body, your lips and your cock.

Save your strength for when I get back”

H”

“My sun,

There isn’t a day when I don’t wake up dreaming about you. I miss your touch, your embrace, that beautiful smile that makes even the fairest maidens fade in your comparison.

Please tell me I will see you soon. I cannot wait to be with you again.

With adoration,

Will”

“Will,

I am to go to court for a few weeks. I’ll write to you when I can.

Love,

Henry”

“My love,

It has been two weeks since I last received a letter and I cannot bear not having news. I miss you like a flower misses spring. Please come back to me soon.

Fading away without your touch,

Will”
