I wish I knew how to quit you!

Miss Kate,

I know I ain't good enough to regulate the fixin's of your little shoes, but I guess if you wait till you find a man that is you will go join them seven young women with the lamps when you quit. Won't you just hitch up alongside of me and let us go down the long road together, driving in double harness?

*in the box is a tan paper heart cutout with a lace border. Written on it in marker is the following:

There's a note on tan-coloured stationary, written in elegant script in a red ink:

This may be difficult for you to read, but please finish it before tossing it away, if toss it away you must. Heaven knows it was difficult for me to write.

I know we've been through some difficult times. Perhaps you even believe that it's impossible to salvage what we once had. I certainly believed it was so, for a time.

However, I came to my senses today. I realized that I'm still in love with you as much as I ever have. I'm hoping you feel the same way. And if two people feel this way, why should they senselessly deny each other?

Talk to me, Kate. Tell me what you're thinking. If you feel the same way as I do, let's not have it end here.

Yours,

Liam
