Rosie:

Oh
don’t
worry,
I
won’t
respond.
I’m
just
sorry
that
the
stupid

woman
didn’t
have
the
common
sense
to
leave
my
daughter
out
of

her
insecurities.

Ruby:

To
Sally,

Katie
will
be
fine;
she’s
a
smart
girl.
Just
like
her
mother.

Thank
you
for
your
letter.
I’m
glad
you
liked
my
dress,
but
if
I
were
you

I
would
have
worn
a
pretty
dress
like
my
mum’s
for
my
wedding
day.
Every-

one
said
that
it
matched
Alex’s
tuxedo
really
well.
They
made
a
nice
couple,

don’t
you
think?
I
showed
Mum
and
Toby
(my
best
friend)
the
photograph

of
you
and
Alex
on
the
beach
and
Toby
says
that
he
hopes
that
your
sunburn

doesn’t
hurt
too
much.
It
looks
really
sore.

That’s
all
for
now.
I
have
to
go
now
because
Mum’s
new
boyfriend
is

coming
to
the
flat
soon.
Tell
Alex
that
me,
mum,
and
Toby
said
hi.

Love
from
Katie,

Rosie

Secret
boyfriend

Back
from
my
honeymoon;
you
sly
little
lady,
you
never
told
me
about

this
new
boyfriend
of
yours!
Sally
was
so
excited
about
the
news
she
couldn’t

wait
to
tell
me,
which
I
thought
was
rather
sweet.
I
didn’t
realize
Katie
and

Sally
were
writing
to
each
other,
did
you?

Anyway
why
didn’t
you
say
a
word
about
this
guy
at
the
wedding?
I

never
knew
you
to
be
so
secretive,
you
usually
tell
me
everything.
So

what’s
he
like?
What’s
his
name?
Where
did
you
meet
him?
What
does

he
look
like?
What
does
he
do
for
a
living?
I
hope
he
earns
loads
of

money
and
that
he’s
treating
you
well,
or
else
I’m
coming
home
to
throttle

him.

I’ll
have
to
go
back
to
Dublin
to
meet
this
guy;
make
sure
he
gets
the

best
friend
approval.
Anyway,
let
me
no
all
the
details
(maybe
not
all
of

them).

Hi
Stephanie,

Just
writing
to
see
how
you
are,
love,
and
to
share
a
bit
of
good
news

with
you.
I’m
sure
Rosie
hasn’t
told
you
this
already
because
she’s
keeping

love,
rosie

pretty
quiet
about
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
that
she’s
met
someone!
We

are
all
so
delighted,
she
seems
so
happy,
those
big
blue
eyes
don’t
look
so
sad

anymore
and
there’s
a
spring
in
her
step
again.
More
like
the
Rosie
we
used

to
know.

Anyway,
she
brought
the
young
man
over
to
the
house
yesterday
for
din-
