A few months ago, you asked for my hand in marriage and I, not realizing at the time what a disastrous ruin I had become, accepted. We then spent some rather intimate time together, that I wish I could take back for fear of scandal ruining your good name.
Mr. Aesalon, I do hope you are capable of seeing where I am coming from. I am a self-destructing dynamite and I'm trying to bring as few down besides me as I can. You are too good a person, too kind and loyal and just to be tainted by one like myself. I shall only cause you more grief, and your family is going through enough changes as it is.
Please, take your ring back and give it to someone more deserving of your affections. I wish I could say I was.
Kind Regards,
Miss Josephine Lovelace

miss josephine lovelace,
Josephine. You are not a disastrous ruin, self-destructing dynamite, or whatever else you call yourself. You are my betrothed and that will not change. You are beautiful, explosive - yes, but so am I, and I want you no other way, intelligent, and probably not of sound mind at the moment. I beg you to please accept my affections, because no one in this blasted town deserves it more than you do.
Merlin, I am keeping this ring because I don't trust you to not do something stupid like try to destroy it if I send it back. But it is rightfully yours and will only be worn by you for as long as my heart beats. There will be no scandal because I want no one else but you, Josephine! And even if there is, you know how much I care about my social standing or reputation or whatever they call it nowadays! You know me better than to think a half-assed, tear-stained (yes, I can see them, Jo), extremely formal letter could even phase me.
I love you. And you better not do anything bloody stupid while on that forsaken expedition, or I swear on Merlin's beard that I will blow up the entire Ministry and do all sorts of Dark Magic to bring you back to me. Back by my side, where you rightfully belong.

If you believe that you are going to force me into bearing your ring you are horrendously misinformed. I'm doing this for you. I want better for you. I do not want you to have to be constantly pushing me back up for the rest of my life. You deserve a better wife than that, okay? You deserve to be able to come home from work and not worry about your wife drinking herself into a stupor again. And god forbid we ever had children? I'd kill them and wouldn't even realize it.
I love you, more than I care to admit. But I refuse to taint you. I refuse to tether you to myself and watch you grow to resent me. I just, I refuse.
