Letter From A Woman In Victorian Times To Her Sweetheart

Prompt: Write a letter to someone you love. I decided to use a fictional woman from Victorian Times that I made up and I will be writing as her.

My Dear Lord Dalton Ashington:
I am really hurt by your attitude towards me at the Ball last night. We are engaged to be married and you ignored me completely. What could have changed? You were dancing with Miss Lilith Walden and as a Lady, it pains me to say this but she is of loose morals. Imagine my embarrassment when you chose her as a dance partner. What have I done to offend you? I danced with a man of the militia to save face. My parents were bewildered and my friends laughed behind my back
I love you and I have since we were children. You told me you loved me as well but last night, you showed no sign of this. I was wearing the sapphire ring you gave me as an engagement ring and it hasn't left my hand. It is urgent that we talk. My parents promised you a good dowry of money and you will have it before we are married. My Darling, I need to see you. It is not lady like to grovel to a man but that doesn't matter right now. We need to talk. We need to resolve this. I still hope that you love me. Please don't let any woman of loose morals or anyone else take away what we have. I hope to see you soon, my Darling. I will love you always. I still hope you plan to marry me.
Affectionally Yours:
Lady Eden McVon
