backdated! end of sept./beginning of oct.

[ Vanessa has made a guess that receiving a gift in person might be awkward for Crowley, so instead it will be left for him on the doorstep. It's a basket with a decent bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, and next to it is an adorably menacing duck plushie.

The folded note has delicate handwriting: ]

Mr. Crowley,

Can you believe that I have discovered some wine that does not sour the tongue? You are one of the few who may appreciate it.

Your friend,
Vanessa Ives

Post Script: I happened to discover this charming fellow and suspect he needs a home. I move about too much to reasonably keep him. Perhaps you could take him off my hands?

[Shortly after Crowley receives the gift, Vanessa will get a number of photos messaged to her of the duck plush on various adventures in casa de gayngel. One photo has it perched on a shelf reading a handwritten collection of Shakespeare's sonnets (it's clearly Crowley's handwriting given it looks like chickenscratch), another of it going for a ride on the the record player, and a third of it sitting atop a fruit bowl stacked with blood oranges, pomegranates, apples and pears (Crowley thinks he's hilarious) while a pair of plump and sturdy looking forearms knead dough in the background. This last one has a caption at the bottom that simply reads 'he's helping angel in the kitchen'.]

Love the duck! He's presently got a place of honour on the top bookshelf in our study, right between the works of Shelley and Wilde.

And you know me, always down for wine.

Serious talk though; I know why you feel the need to stay on the move, but if you ever need a safe place to rest, the doors of #7 Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis Lane will always open to you - Aziraphale and I made sure of it.

feelings and emotions ! for her (and me)

I never expected he would settle in so quickly, but it goes so far to show how easy it is to enjoy oneself in the home that you two have created. I am so glad you all are getting on so well.

Your offer is more touching than any words can express, but I will at least attempt a modicum of gratitude by saying thank you, and I shall endeavor not to abuse the privilege overmuch.

I will also say that I look forward to trying a sample of whatever it is that Mr. Fell seems to have been recently baking.
