Gracie

[Jake Gullane]

Haven't seen you in ages. How are you doing? When are you coming round? I've actually been cleaning (a bit) recently, and you haven't been round to admire and be impressed! 

In other news, Rupert and David may possibly be dead (when they're not working, they sleep. I'm starting to get concerned) and Kieran ate all my Nutella. 

What's new in your life?

Love Jake

Jake, hi!

I know, it's been so long. I need to drop by soon. I've just been busy between working at mum's, and the occasionally singing gig thing, I haven't had much time for anything really. You actually cleaned? I'll have to come visit soon!

Well, you should definitely check on that. Them being dead is never good for anyone - so many inconveniences. What's Nutella? Is that a Muggle thing?

Nothing much really. How's Skye?

Love,
Grace

[Jake Gullane]

Gracie,

How's all the work going? You need to let us know when and where you're singing, so we can all come along and support you!

And yes, I cleaned. It's part of this whole responsible father facade I'm trying to keep up. Skye sleeps over sometimes, I can't bring her into a health hazard.

I checked. Definitely dead. Sad times. Nutella is a Muggle thing, yes - it's soft, spreadable, chocolate and hazelnut flavoured goodness. I would say come over and try some, but as I said, Kieran ate all mine. The plus side is that he's buying me a 5kg jar of it in return (he doesn't actually know this yet, but he's already placed the order).

Skye's great, as usual! She misses Auntie Grace, though. Three uncles don't compare. Seriously, she keeps asking where you are. She wants to show you her new pink tutu.

Love Jake

Jake,

I can support myself which is always a plus. Almost ready to move out of home now, I've just got to find a roommate. Oh... I can't do that. It's too much of a hassle. I wouldn't want you all to feel obligated to come watch me sing, that's too much to ask.

I hope you didn't clean up the boys mess as well, did you? They should be helping as well. After all, they are 20 now.

Oh my. We should probably have a funeral for them then, shouldn't we? Oh, it sounds delicious! How can Kieran place an order without knowing?

Aw, that's great! I need to come visit soon, I do. She's doing ballet? Oh my goodness, tell me when she has her first recital! I want to come along and watch.

Love,
Grace

[Jake Gullane]

Grace,

It is always a plus, I find that myself. If I hear of anyone looking for a roommate, I'll let you know. Any requirements? And don't be silly - if it was an obligation, I wouldn't have asked you, would I? I want to come, and so do the others, I bet.

I know, it's disgraceful how immature they are really. Especially compared to me. I make Kieran help. Like I say, I think David and Rupert are dead, so not much use.

It is delicious. And technically I placed the order, but I pretended to be Kieran, since he's the one who's going to be paying. Honest revenge.

You do. Drop in any time. And no, she's not actually doing ballet, she just likes tutus. We can't really afford Maybe one day she'll do ballet though, and then I expect she'll tell you about her recitals herself, and expect everyone she knows to turn up.

Love Jake

[Grace Longbottom]

Jake.

Requirements... non-smoker. I've already got an offer from Rosa but I really don't want her bringing her relations to the apartment all the time. I've met her family, and they're very... interesting.

If you want to come, you're welcome... but you don't have to.

You pretended to be Kieran? What do you mean you pretended to be Kieran? Like in a play?

I can teach her ballet! Am I allowed to teach her ballet? I used to do it all the time.

Love,
Grace

[Jake Gullane]

Grace,

It makes me feel like I'm in trouble when you put a full stop after my name like that.

Okay, fair enough. Yeah, Rosa does have bad habits like that. Have you thought about advertising?

I know I don't have to, but I can't if you don't tell me when and where they are, can I?

No, as in I wrote a letter in his handwriting and signed his name at the bottom. He's got a pretty easy signature to fake - maybe I should warn him about that. It's okay though, he knows about it now - me pretending to be him, that is. He took it pretty well - after all, he did eat my nutella.

Well I'm sure she'd love it, and that's amazing of you to offer - but I can't ask you to that, Gracie. We couldn't pay you, things are a bit tight right now.

Love Jake

[Grace Longbottom]

Jake,

I think that was meant to be a comma but then I just didn't do the flickety thingy at the end. You're not in trouble. I promise you.

I did think about advertising but my mum says that it's pretty much advertising people to come and murder me.

The Three Broomsticks, this Saturday @ 7.

JAKE. (Now I'm using a full stop intentionally) That's illegal! That's so wrong. Oh my goodness, forging signatures for nutella. That's just so silly!

Don't be silly, I'd be more than happy to teach her for free! I'm not a trained professional, so it's not like I can charge even if I did want to.

Love,
Grace
