Dominic

Sir,

I can’t believe we have been together for a whole year. So much has happened in our short time together. I often feel that I’ve brought more sadness than happiness to your life. You have brought me nothing but happiness and I want you to always remember that. No matter what storms have hit, you have been my steadfast rock in the turbulent seas.

Never doubt the good you’ve done for me. Never doubt my appreciation for you. And never doubt my love for you. I’m paralyzed at the thought of losing you and I know I could never live without you. Through all of my problems, it’s been your love that has pulled me through. I love you, My Sir, and there’s nothing about our life together that I regret. I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused for you.

I memorized those words and can recite them backwards in my sleep. The rest of the letter, the page that Tucker just handed me, is now seared into my memory. The conclusion of Carol Ann’s thoughts on the worst fucking day of my life will haunt my dreams, interrupt my sleep, and forever be cursed by the ‘what-if’s’.

What if I had just stayed home that day?

What if I had made it home earlier?

What if….

I’m frozen in time as I read her words. Picturing her in my mind, I can see her face as she writes each line. She’s sitting at the desk, her left arm at a ninety-degree angle as her hand supports her head. The right side of her lip is between her teeth as she concentrates on her wording. She lives in these words and I can feel her emotions bubbling up and spilling over onto the page.

Through all of our troubles and trials, one thing has remained constant: our love. It has never waxed or waned. Not when my parents objected to us not being married before living together. Not when my brother tried to shame us for our choices. Not even when my fear of leaving the house put a damper on socializing or traveling.

I made a new resolution today and, with you, I will keep it tomorrow. Enough of my life has been lived in fear and shame. No more. You’ve asked me to go with you on business trips before but I wasn’t able to go. I want to go with you on your next trip. I want to spend every minute with you that I possibly can. Tomorrow, I want you to take me shopping for new clothes.

Oh, and some of them will have to be maternity clothes. 

With all the love in my heart –

Carol Ann

(P.S. I didn’t really drink the champagne.)
