As sweet as it was fleeting.

Ivalyn rather loathed this part of the process, however; it was necessary. She wanted to be clear in how she felt, and whatever the Force had in store for the two of them remained with the Force. Balance knows she thought perhaps this one would be different, but alas, Mr. Perris had been no different that any of her previous suitors. Ivalyn penned the letter herself, and then sent it off with a messenger droid.

Dear Mr. Perris,
I wanted to take a moment and express my sincerest gratitude for your journey to Naboo. I understand that galas, such as they are, are not your preferred events. I truly appreciate the time you took to join me on New Year's.

Now, onto the part that nobody truly enjoys. I believe that whatever chemistry we experienced during Naboo's celebration of Life Day may have dissipated between our making the arrangements and the New Year Gala. I want you to know that I will always welcome your company at my side; however, I feel that it should be done as friends.

Mr. Perris, you are a charming, handsome, and clever gentleman. I am certain that the lady who captures your heart will be quite fortunate. Unfortunately, that woman shall not be me. I hope this letter finds you well, and I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

May the Force Be With You,
Ms. Ivalyn Yvarro
