Oh God, ignore the fact that I can't code today...
Envelope dropped off at Worth Financials almost four days after Alfie sends payment and the note. It's again labeled "For P. Worth" in black marker. He'd been asleep for nearly two full days after dropping off the painting himself, and it takes him a little while to pick up his things from the gallery after he checks his phone message to see that he has something there.
The envelope is a normal business size, and it's obviously been folded in half once after it was sealed, the corners also a little creased, like it was carried in a pocket for a while. The paper inside is standard drawing paper, torn out from a spiral-bound book, but with the schnibbles cut off. The handwriting (mostly caps and surprisingly in purple, slightly shimmery ink) matches the handwriting from the outside of the envelope and the delivered painting. On the back of the paper, like it escaped unnoticed, is a sketch of a young woman with long, seemingly light, curling hair and a wide smile.
A,
The letters spell out Family. To go along with your request.
And I figured I'd give you a real note, since you sent a real one, but it's probably easier to use email. It takes me a long time to walk to your office building even when I'm not carrying a painting, and it's starting to get pretty cold outside.

p.s. Thank you for this, by the way. The money's going to keep the heat on all winter give us a really nice Christmas.
