When Kennedy got that email, she did have to take a minute, yeah-- NyQuil haze or not, the familiarity-- and the impulse to just want to hug her until she felt better-- still kind of ached.

he's a big ball of fluff and floppy ears now. i should send pictures. speaking of, i sent you a birthday card last week. did you get it yet? no idea if the time lag screws with mail.

i like the idea of you going back, too. bet they all miss you.

don't worry, i'll stay out of trouble as long as i'm stuck in bed sneezing my head off. that's totally reassuring, right?

oh, say hi to your mom for me, maybe, yeah?

It would have been nice to say that there had been more to that email before Kennedy thought better of it and deleted it, but more accurately she'd just sent it before it occurred to her to add the 'I miss you too' she... probably wouldn't have thought twice about adding.
