By the time you come home and read this letter, I’ll be long gone to spend the next couple of days in my family’s mountain cabin with my new servant. I will be honest, here: at first, I didn’t really believe you when you told me about that brainwashing program. However, now that I’ve seen it in action, I willingly admit my mistake, and I’m absolutely delighted with the results. Mark tried to fight for a while but then he was drawn to it beyond the point of resistance. Watching him become blank before my eyes was such a riveting experience, one I’m sure I’ll never forget. Thank you so much for everything! Best anniversary present... ever!

P.S. Silly me, I almost forgot something very important! When we were about ready to leave, guess who came knocking to spoil our fun? My cousin Allison! I always pretended to like her since she’s family and all, but the truth is I loathe her uptight manners and, well… I ended up using the program again to make certain adjustments to her personality, too. I left her sleeping in your bedroom, all wrapped up as a present because I know how much you enjoy those things. Have fun with her in any way you see fit and enjoy the weekend. I sure will!
