[Kyle's seemingly effortless romance has a way of melting him unexpectedly. It's fine, because all of these letters are being read within the comfortable privacy of his office.
Charles' next letter has included with it a charmingly humorous pocket square that both reminds him of Kyle's beach house, and seems like something the other vampire would like. It's boldly (per Edwardian courting maxims, which is the last time Charles pursued anyone, but he has a feeling it's safe to assume someone born after the 1980s won't find it as aggressive a touch as his ex-wife's mother and father would have) scented with a touch of his cologne.]
Kyle,
I'll see you the day after next. If I remember the Haven shift schedule correctly, that should work for us both.
This will be my first bonfire seen under good circumstances, admittedly. It'll be a worthy one, to see it with you.
Warmly,
Charles

The pocket square not only amuses Kyle but it carries with it a scent that is distinctively Charles and that leaves him spending a moment with his eyes closed and just letting the scent envelope him.
Maybe a scent alone shouldn't do that much to him, but he doesn't care. It makes him think instantly of Charles and that means a lot to him.
Charles,
Thank you for the gift. I love it. Remind me to tell you the story of Jeff, if I haven't already, and the shark in my pool.
I can't wait to see you then. I know we see one another often, but this feels different and I'm excited for it. I'll see you then.
