Dearest Viper-
I'm not very good at this. Probably because I hate losing, anything. But
I have to know for my own peace. I'll never be able to compete with
Astridi's money or Grey's power. But my intentions are stictly
honorable. You should know that when a Bach makes a commitment to
marriage, it's for ever. I do have enough money and a title, enough to
make a comfortable life for us. But those things don't keep me warm at
night. They don't even make me happy anymore.
I can't say why I love you, but I do. It's not a competition thing with
Grey or Astridi. I think it's the that we have so many unusual past
experiences in common. Who else could you talk to about Barlows? I know
where the glow comes from. And I want to talk to someone about all those
things. Someone who I can build a future and a family with. Someone who
can love me for what I am, not what I have in my bank account.
I know that you've said that you need time to think after Mac and I've
tried to resoect that. But if you don't think that you could learn to
love me, I need to know that now. If there's no future for us, then I'll
need time to get over you.
Viper, will you marry me? I await your reply. Please send it to me at
your property on Cogri.
Love, Mark.
Attached is the property deed for the old Korth estate on Cogri, with
the title in Viper's name.
