I'm not entirely sure if you remember me, or not. But I'm the slightly clumsy girl who happened to stumble into your library a few weeks ago. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what to make of our meeting, or the impression I left, but I thought I'd take a chance on this one.

I just—was wondering, if you might wish to escort me to a New Year's party that a friend of ours mine is hosting.

Please forgive me, if this seems a terribly crass invitation in light of recent events. But... everyone can use a friend at times like these?

Oh, and I realize this is entirely last minute, but I've only just gathered the courage to send this Sorry, I shouldn’t be saying tha, so if you've other engagements, I naturally understand.

Sincerely,
Wendy Tremaine!
