I was sitting at home, searching through a pile of old letters that we might have to throw away when we moved into the Queen's castle. I found an old letter all folded and wrinkled. It looked as if it had been inside of one of Alice's books for a very long time. I unfolded it and was surprised to see it was addressed to me. I started to read through it.

Dear Hatter (Tarrant),

I know you may never get this letter, seeing as I shall be keeping it, but I want you to know that I know I made the right choice when I came back through the hole after you said those wonderful words. You haven't lost one bit of your muchness, and I hope you know that.

It must have taken a lot of courage to propose to me after we hadn't even had our first kiss (let alone me telling you that I loved you back, which I very much did). I hope you know that I promise to stay here, and be with you, for the rest of my life. You alone, are the best thing that ever happened to me.

I know you must live in constant fear, now that we are living with each other, that you will go into a rage and hurt me. You should know that I as well live in that fear. Not of hurting you physically, but emotionally. I know you must live in constant fear of me going into a rage, and ending up back in Otherland, marrying Hamish. But you must know that I will never, not in my wildest dreams, do that to you.

What I am trying to say is, I love you, and nothing will ever change that. If I ever do end up back in Otherland, I would go right back down that rabbit hole and make things right. Today is our wedding day, and I want you to know that I love you more than anyone else in this world, or any other for that matter.

I could list one thousand reasons why not giving up on Underland and you was the best decision I ever made, but it all boils down to one thing, and that is love.

Love is the reason that I constantly put myself in the path of danger, turning you when you have your back to me in one of those fits, and using my words to calm you. Love is the reason I look into your mad, angry, orange eyes and comfort you. It is all because I love you.

I know you put up with much too. I am every bit as mad as you when I'm in one of my fits. We keep each other grounded, which is why I love you.

You are the only man I have ever considered to marry. I love you, and nothing will ever change that.

With all my love,

Alice Kinsley (soon to be Hightop)

"Tarrant?" my wife's voice rang out as soon as I finished the letter. She appeared at the bedroom door. "What are you looking at?" She added.

"Just some old letters darling," I said slipping the letter behind me. I thought it was better she didn't know I found it. "Nothing to be concerned of."

"Okay. Just don't try going through my books, I have so many random things in them that they best not be bothered with." She said quickly. She doesn't want me to find the letter, I thought. "When you are done with those, come help me with some of the boxes. Chessur is getting bored out there with nothing to bring to the castle. He's starting up all kinds of mischief."

"Okay dear. I'll be down in a few more minutes." I said as she walked away.

"That was close." I muttered to myself. I quickly folded the letter back up and put it inside my hat, for me to read when I got the chance. It was one of those things that you want to read over and over. I packed up the rest of the letters.

"Tarrant" Alice yelled loudly.

"Coming dear!" I called down the stairs. I put the rest of Alice's books in a box. Who knew what else I would find in them?

I just hoped she hadn't look in my hat box. If she saw that letter, now that would be embarrassing! Then I scrambled down the stairs to help her.
