I received a reply to my letter from Victor. He wrote that on this earth there remains little happiness. However, he said that all that he may enjoy is centered in me. Victor explained that I shouldn’t bear any fears because he loves me. He mentioned a secret that he is keeping from me. I would be chilled with horror upon hearing the secret, he says. Then I will wonder how he survived what he has endured. But he will wait to reveal this secret until the day after our wedding. Victor said I should not mention this tale of misery and terror until then. He thinks there should be perfect confidence between us on our wedding day and the secret would disturb that perfect that confidence. He returned shortly upon the receiving of my letter. I welcomed him with warm affection. Tears traveled down my face expressing my happiness to have him back home. Victor said that he saw a change in me. He noticed that I was thinner and lost some of my charm. But I still possessed gentleness and soft looks that he loves. I noticed a change in him as well. Victor was frequently possessed with fits of fury and rage since his return. Only I could soothe him with my gentle voice as I wept with him and for him. His fits didn't bother me because I only cared that he was back in my arms.
