The Following, Joe Carroll/Ryan Hardy, Joe leaves Ryan passages from Poe as love notes

With shaking hands, Ryan opened the sealed envelope to reveal the contents; a stark white piece of parchment decorated with strokes of black ink. He knew who the letter was from before he had even read the contents.

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

He recognized the verse - A Dream Within A Dream - by Edgar Allan Poe. Of course it would be lines from a poem by Carroll’s idol Poe, how fitting he mused to himself as he read the last lines on the page. This wasn’t the first love note Carroll had left for him to find. Each one had contained a passage from one of Poe’s works.

But, this one was different. There was no taunting tone to it. This was . . . this was as if Carroll was actually leaving him a sweet missive. He reread the lines again. It wasn’t until his eyes fell on the last lines, the lines not from Poe’s poem that he knew he was right. This was something different, something only meant for him.

My days have indeed been a dream, ones filled with you.
Until we meet again,
-Joe.

Cormoran Strike series, Robin Ellacott, Robin is reading/rereading 'The Three Musketeers'...

From:

Robin had discovered there was a fair amount of time spent just sitting around waiting for things. And not just when following someone, when she needed to remain alert at all times. There was time waiting for replies, waiting for the phone to ring, waiting to speak to someone, even occasionally when going further afield, waiting for trains. And so she had taken to carrying a book with her. Currently she was reading ‘The Three Musketeers’, enjoying the sense of comradeship the musketeers shared and wondering whether she and Cormoran would ever cry “One for all, and all for one!”

This is lovely and much better than my rather mischevious prompt deserved. Thank you.

Aw, thank you. I wanted to fill the prompt but wasn't entirely sure how to go about it - I've not written anything for the Strike series before, so it was a good way to dabble my toes in it.

I see the next book in the series is about to be published. I keep checking the library website ready to reserve a copy.
