Dear
Sofia
&
Marcus
,
I
’
m
still
smiling
about
Saturday
.
Walking
in
to
find
the
whole
apartment
full
of
peonies
and
that
enormous
box
with
my
name
on
it
—
I
truly
had
no
idea
.
You
went
to
so
much
quiet
trouble
,
and
believe
me
,
it
did
not
go
unnoticed
for
a
single
second
.
The
espresso
maker
has
already
earned
a
permanent
spot
on
the
counter
.
Every
morning
it
feels
less
like
a
machine
and
more
like
your
kindness
showing
up
in
small
ways
—
which
,
if
I
’
m
honest
,
is
exactly
what
I
needed
this
year
.
Thank
you
for
the
thoughtfulness
,
the
laughter
,
and
for
always
knowing
the
exact
right
thing
.
I
am
a
very
lucky
person
to
have
you
both
in
my
corner
.
With
all
my
love
,
Elena
