The tolling of the noon bells woke Contessa Helena de San Finzione with a start, and a small fright brought on by the uncertaintainty whether it was noon or midnight in her darkened bedroom. Either way, it was much later than she preferred to wake.
She looked toward the balcony. Troy or Julie must've closed the doors and curtains because Maria knew better than to do that. She looked around for them and saw she was alone.
She put her hand on the bed and felt something crinkle. Turning on a lamp and looking down, she saw a sticky note affixed to a folded piece of stationary. The sticky note was in Maria's handwriting and said that she apologized for not waking La Contessa, but she was sleeping more peacefully than Maria had ever seen before and that the girl had been waiting to deliver Julie's letter, but had somewhere she needed to be and would explain to La Contessa when she returned. The longer note was from Julie.
*Helen, (Yeah, yeah, "That's La Contessa to you." I made you my finger puppet last night, woman. You're HELEN! LEARN TO COPE!)
We want to wake you to say goodbye, but you're sleeping more peacefully than any of us have ever seen you, and considering how unpeacefully we've all seen you sleep, have decided to let you. (Also closed the curtains for you. The Sun's gotta come in and hit you in the face every morning. Not a good way to wake up.)
Since we've still got a plane to catch, we're going to have to leave as soon as I finish this letter telling you some of the things we didn't get to say last night.
1. We love you. If the offer to come back next year is still good by then, we'll call THAT your anniversary present and NO PRANKS this time!
2. I was 75% joking when I asked for the security officer escort. I can see them assembling from the balcony as I write this, and not only is it impressive, but it will actually take care of one last little snag in our plan that we were uncertain about.
3. When you see Maria next, she's going to have something important to talk to you about. We love her too, so listen to what she has to say and don't meddle, bitch, or I'll put you in your own dungeon, and not in a fun way.
4. Math Boy wants me to tell you that if La Contessa accepts "The People's Jest" in good humor and plays her cards right, she could come away with a major boost to San Finzione's tourism revenue. (Fuck, did you two used to talk about money IN BED when you were dating?)
