To my darling besotted George,

I don't think I've ever blushed so much as when I read your letter, and I want to thank you for all of your admiring words.

I'm not rejecting anything you said by any means, but you and I both know I'm no supermodel (not even an un-super one). My personal belief is that people who are happy and content with themselves exude an aura that can't be seen as anything other than beautiful. Perhaps it is a reflection of their confidence, but I'm not really sure, I just know that it surpasses what their features look like.

You, I truly believe, are one of the most beautiful men I've ever known, George. Most specifically because you are a genuine person who doesn't mind putting it out there as he sees it. And that, my friend, is not always easy to do. On a physical level, I also think it is great that you think I'm beautiful, even if your eyesight isn't what it once was...

Admiring you effusively,

K. xo
