The Big Night is Approaching – entry no. 71

23 June


I slept late, ate a leisurely breakfast and did a bit of this and that, and while I was in the bath it was clear to me that I’m looking forward to tonight. Midsummer’s Eve is one of my favourite evenings, full of bonfires and celebrations.

At four p.m. someone rang the doorbell – a courier with a huge bouquet of red roses! And a card that read:

Dear Elizabeth,

I’m looking forward to sharing this evening with you.

At 5:30 p.m. a limousine will come to pick you up. It will be at your disposition for the rest of the evening.

Love, Ruben

Wow. That was unexpected. I knew he had style, but the gesture surprised me anyway. I need to get changed and ready if I want to be at Nordre Toldbod at six.
