I encouraged Napoleon to speak with you once he discussed his feelings for you with me. I had a suspicion that they were not one-sided, and it seems I was right.
I do not know how either of you wish to proceed, but I do hope that it does not include any locking away or setting aside of feelings that are evidently there. Napoleon offered to do so, and that lasted only a matter of days before he needed to act on them. So I say go on your trip, see where that takes you.
