hi, mom.

it’s me, caoinlean.

my new mom senior guardian said that i could put a note on here because si gaoithe always gets to.

i just wanted to let you know that we got braces.

we only have to wear them on special occasions.

i thought you’d want to know.

oh.

and please kiss cormac goodnight for me.

i can’t wait to see him.
