My dear Terry,

    I just got your letter and I’m heartbroken. While you and I were having fun and making love, Susanna was getting sicker. Oh Terry, I feel so bad. It’s our punishment for not respecting our agreement, for being selfish, for fornicating, for being together even thought we were supposed to be broken up… We love each other so much Terry, that we let the weakness of our flesh guide us.

    As a result, you weren’t there when Susanna needed you the most, you were with me… Oh Terry I never thought our being together was going to cause so much pain to Susanna.

    We have to go back to our initial agreement; we can’t see each other anymore, ever! Please don’t contact me, don’t write me anymore and take care of Susanna. She saved your life, she needs you and she feels better when she’s with you. She told me being in your arms that night at the hospital, made her want to live, that she won’t try to kill herself anymore after being in your arms. You are part of her remedy and I’m taking you away from her for selfish and sinful reasons!

    This is a goodbye letter. It’s killing me to do this to you again, to us… but we can’t see each other anymore. You have to be with Susanna and take care of her. Without her, you would’ve been dead… so please Terry, be there for her, forget about me and just consider those last few months as a goodbye, as closure. I will cherish those moments until the end of times.

    I love you Terry, I will love you forever.

    Take care or yourself and Susanna.
    Candy.
