Tired but happy, Gwenneth decided to retire early. She quietly entered the kitchen and bid Cook good night. The young elf looked around for Ginger, but did not see her.

I guess I will see her in the morning. I have a letter to write to my brother. When she reached her room, she pulled out a piece of parchment and began to write.

Gwenneth wrote of her experiences in the Shire and of the people she had met. As she came to the close of her letter, Gwenneth realized that she would be moving on soon and sighed. I will stay through the handfasting. She signed her letter and set it aside. On her nightstand was a book. She opened it to the marker and settled into read.
