- Ben splashes his face with cold water before sitting down to write a letter of his own.
- He realizes the pen he's using was a gift from Meg on their first anniversary. Because of course it is.
- Ben writes that he thinks they should talk about it face to face. He doesn't want her to leave him, and he's still in love with her; he pleads with her to think of what this will do to Alice and Amelia, begging her to reconsider.
- Just as he finishes the letter, Maybelle calls out that Elizabeth is there to see him. Because of course she is.
