Archie has sorted all his notes alphabetically by their source, which leaves the anonymous ones on top. Convenient, since it's one of those that he's currently consumed by. Someone loves him? Someone is watching him, possibly right at this moment? He doesn't look up, because he'd loathe to be so obviously wide-eyed and flustered. Or should he be more concerned about the enigmatic "HI." with its odd simplicity?
Everything is nice, though. He's read each short note several times, and already plans on keeping them for posterity's sake. Archimedes strongly believes in the value of keepsakes and memories. He saves all his correspondences and gifts, even if they're scant. The sweets are perishable, however, and will need to be consumed. By the end of lunch, he has a bouquet of candy canes, a stack of chocolates, and a bouquet of edible roses. Despite Tally's suggestion, what he can't finish before he leaves will have to remain here in Hieronymus' care.
