Love always and forever,

Mason

Had I ever really known this man at all? The Mason that I had been with did not show emotion. He never showed up with flowers or sent cards. I had to drag his feelings out of him. Now he was doing everything to make me see that he had changed. I was starting to believe him, but the wall around my heart was not willing to crumble just like that.

I picked up my phone and dialed his number. He answered on the first ring.

“Hey, babe.”

“Oh, Mason. I just got your card.”

My voice broke immediately even though I was trying desperately to control my emotions.

“I hope you liked it. I carried that picture with me every day that we were apart. You look the most beautiful and happy that I have ever seen you there. It got me through so many nights when I thought about ending it all.”

“I remember when you took it. I remember how in love with you I was and how I couldn’t wait for our future. If only I could go back and change it.”

“I know, baby. I know. But we can’t change the past. We can only look to the future and work on making up for lost time. I know what I want. I just need you on board.”

“I’m still not ready. But I love the star. What a perfect way to remember her. Especially since no one knows she ever even existed. My sweet baby girl who never had a chance.”

At that point my voice broke, and I couldn’t even speak. He sat on the other end of the line speaking soothing words about how much he loved us both to soothe me. When I finally settled down, it was time to end the call.

“I will wait for you. I said it, and I meant it. I will wait until you figure out that Austin will never be what you need. I love you.”

“I love you, too. And thank you.”

“You’re welcome, baby. I’m here if you need me. Always.”

I hung up the phone and spent more time alone with the picture. Mason had given me a true gift and I would always cherish it. I wasn’t sure that I would have been able to look at it before now. I planned on taking it to my next therapy appointment later in the week to talk about it.

Since it was getting late, I headed to bed. The next day, I did much of the same. Writing along with some sun bathing in the back yard. Around noon, I got a text from Austin.

Is everything ok? I never heard back from you yesterday.

Yes, I’m ok. I was just busy with work. I will see you soon. <3

Okay. I miss you so much, pretty girl.

That one tugged at my heart a bit. I missed him, too. I knew I needed to give him a chance to explain what I saw. It wasn’t fair of me to hold something against him when I didn’t know the whole story.
