Read the following message.

Dear Owen,

I have the most incredible news, and there is simply no way I can hold it in until you are back! Of course it would be far nicer to tell you in person, but you are still away at that management course in Regina, and since I am practically bursting with the excitement of it all, waiting for your flight home is out of the question.
