Dear Darcy,
Hello, I hate for our first conversation after the start of the New Year to be me asking you for a favor, but it is as it is.
Edward Mr. Rochester is going in for surgery tomorrow, and I am going to go sit in waiting for him to get through. You know how men do for women expecting? A bit like that. Except an entirely different outcome.
Anyway, I was wondering if you would mind if Robin came over to your apartment and helped out with Pointer? (He's over my shoulder and dislikes the idea of needing a childminder, he's of the mind that he doesn't need one.) If it is a bother I can see if Dan would mind him helping with some of the animals.
Your friend,
Marian
