Love, Rosie (271 page)

glad
she
said
she
wanted
to
go
somewhere,
even
if
it
was
on
my

birthday.

So
it
will
just
be
you
and
me
once
again,
but
at
least
this
year
I’ll
get

to
sneak
a
peak
at
the
penthouse
suite!
I’ll
steal
a
few
ideas
for
my

own
hotel.
What
a
treat!

Ruby:

Looking
forward
to
seeing
the
look
on
your
face
when
that
happens,

Rosie.
See
you
at
8p.m.,
room
440.

Rosie:
Yes
I
know
but
I’ll
take
some
photos
for
Katie
too.
She’d
love
to
see

Happy
40th
Rosie,

I
had
a
wonderful
weekend
at
your
party,
we
really
did
surprise
you,

didn’t
we?!
It
broke
my
heart
pretending
to
you
that
I
was
staying
with

Stephanie
but
it
was
worth
it
to
see
the
look
on
your
face
(and
the
tears
in

your
eyes).
Alex
arranged
the
entire
thing.
He’s
a
lovely,
lovely
man
Rosie.

Shame
about
the
wife
though,
I
always
thought
you
and
he
would
get

together
when
you
were
children.
Silly
isn’t
it?!

Anyway
thank
you,
thank
you,
thank
you
for
being
a
wonderful
daugh-

ter
and
for
all
of
your
help
over
the
past
few
years.
Your
father
would
be

proud
of
you,
I’ll
be
sure
to
tell
him
all
about
you
when
I
see
him!

You
are
a
beautiful
young
woman
Rosie
Dunne,
your
father
and
I
did

well!

Lots
of
love,
Mum
