The questions began as they packed the car and they hadn’t stopped since. Addie stared out the window and watched as the city gave way to country, taking her farther and farther away from where she really wanted to be. Feeling the car closing in around her, she rolled the window down and inhaled as much air as her lungs could possibly take until she felt as though she might drown. She held her breath and tried escape the boys’ rapid-fire questions. I thought you and Daddy were getting divorced? Does this mean you’re staying together? Why are we going to the lake? What about school? Where’s Max? Why isn’t he coming with us? It’s too cold to swim! What are we going to do there?

“ENOUGH with the questions, already!” Addie snapped. Patrick looked over at her and placed his hand on hers. Relax. Everything was fine, he’d said. But everything wasn’t fine. Addie pulled her hand away and leaned her head against the cool, smooth glass of the passenger window. It had only been a few hours, and she missed him desperately already. How could she get through the next few days, the next few weeks, or quite possibly the rest of her lifetime without seeing him? Without touching him? Addie closed her eyes and recalled the words she’d written, unable to get them out of her mind.

Dear William,

Patrick, the boys, and I have gone up to the lake house for a bit, until we figure everything out. I’m sure you already know much of this, but I wanted you to hear the words directly from me, for what it’s worth.

I realize that you and I left a lot of things unsettled, but I want you to know that I love you. I love you so much, William. And I’m so sorry that life for us has been this complicated. You’re right that there is an undeniable attraction between the two of us. When I’m with you, I’m able to feel things that I’m unable to say. You understand what it is I need, oftentimes, before even I myself know what those things are. Still, this has been an uphill battle all the way for you and me, mostly, I believe, in part due to the timing of it all. But it shouldn’t be like this. I know that you know this too.

I’m hoping that a little time and space will allow us both to see things a little more clearly. Sure, what we have has been difficult, but it’s also been more beautiful than I could ever imagine, and that’s what I’ll take away from it for now. If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s been that love isn’t always enough. Maybe there’s no happy ending for us, but the truth is, I realize now that’s okay. It doesn’t stop me from still wanting the all the beauty that I know life has in store for you. You deserve so much more than the lies about ourselves that we’ve been led to believe were true, lies about being unworthy and unlovable and unimportant.
