“My dear apprentice... No that sounds a little weird to write on paper, being that you are older than me. My dear friend; here are the notes you requested on the herbs I would have you gather for our next lesson.
Remember to take the gloves I left you. Yes, I chose the vibrant pink ones just for you. They match your cheeks when you blush.
Until next time,
-Miss Baker.”
