Newt sends Jacob a volume of his book after it is published. Since Jacob must not know the truth, he adds a handwritten note. The note says that this is a work of fiction/fantasy, printed at a small vanity publisher's and inspired by Jacob's stupendous pastries.

A flattered Jacob starts reading and is fascinated by Newt's prose and narrative. They inspire him with new creature-shaped delicacies, and he writes back, adding photographs and a tin of bonbons. Newt sends a thank you letter, etc. They write each other with more and more abandon, and... take it from here? Does Jacob start remembering things? Do the letters grow more intimate? Does it end in lovers meeting? Or on a more wistful note, if Jacob ends up with someone else after all? Your call!
