Letter to Hero

Dear Hero,
   I am going to tell you a secret. I overhead two people, not mentioning any names, talking about a certain man named Benedick and how he is in love with me. Me? I asked myself the same questions over and over again: Why is he in love with me and not someone else? And for how long?  I guess after all these days, Benedick bickering with me is really a coverup for his feelings for me. He was too overwhelmed with love that he tried to hide it with his witless words. Benedick of all people! He would be the last on my list of who is in love with me. Now that I think of it, though, I recall dancing with Benedick at the ball and insulting him, like I usually do. He could not take my insults anymore, so he left. Maybe he was in despair that I did not love him back? I do not know, but I feel something suddenly wrapping around me. It could be the feeling that you know too well: falling in love. Obviously, since you are getting married in a few days, you know how love feels. A long time ago, Benedick played with my heart, which is why we are constantly arguing. Do you think I should trust him? I believe I should; afterall, he is a good man on the inside.
                     
                                                                                                   Love,
                                                                                                       Beatrice
