Darling Nick!
How have you been my dear cousin? I just heard you are coming east! How gorgeous! How long has it been? We are living in East Egg and you must come over for dinner immediately. I won’t take no for an answer. You haven’t met the baby; and you must see the house, it’s simply marvelous!

Do be sure to provide your email address with your reservation darling so I may send you gay and exciting messages before you arrive for dinner. This is a fully immersive experience and you may find yourself sharing an intimate setting; but I assure you everyone you will encounter here is absolutely fully vaccinated. Part of your visit will take place outside and part of it inside; please bring your own face covering for the indoor portion of the evening. And I’m sorry my dear cousin but you may only join us after showing proof of vaccination or test results from within three days’ time. I hope this isn’t too inconvenient darling, you do understand.

Anyway do come see us Nick, or I shall just lie here weeping, forever missing your darling face.
Daisy
