Dear Mrs. Alizé De Villier,

Attached, please find the list of damages for the incident that occurred on September 2nd at Mr. Cillian O’Leary’s place of business, The Rose and Dragon Pub on Broadway, Boston, USA. A copy has been sent to your residential address in Lyon, France. Mr. Cillian O’Leary demands reimbursement for said damages incurred by the equivalent of a stink bomb left in his establishment, or he will be forced to press charges following your threat on file, sent September 1st.

Respectfully,

John Hanklin, Esq

Dear sirs,

Mr. O’Leary is free to attempt to press charges. However, he will be violating the protection clause established between our families, signed by himself and his father. As such, he will find his monthly stipend cut off and our contract terminated. I will gladly accept the attempted charges if that is the outcome. If not, he is free to visit me in Lyon to discuss terms as was previously proposed by me before this unfortunate and untimely incident took up his time.

Sincerely,

The Wife

Dear Mrs. Alizé De Villier,

It is Mr. O’Leary’s desire to forego all charges. However, he will be unable to travel to Lyon in the coming months, but he is willing to settle on the topic of an open marriage and give his full approval without conditions. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Respectfully,

John Hanklin, Esq

Alizé

He agreed to it.

Maeve

Course he did. The prick.

Word on the street is they’re all fucked-up.

O’Leary, more like O’Sleazy.

Alizé
