Forget me never...

Letter 40

My dear Terry,

I did receive your letter and I was very happy. I am glad to see that you're back in America. Your mother told me that you had gone to England to pay a visit to your father. I am happy that it went well between the two of you. I already told you how lucky you were to have the chance to know your parents and where they are. I simply showed the very « romantic » note that you left me to your father. We talked briefly and he asked what an orphan could know about family? Eliza had sent him an anonymous letter accusing me of all evil as usual. I told him that exactly because I had no family, I knew how important it was and I asked him to let you follow your dream in Broadway. I am glad that he listened to me and that he let you pursue your dream. Or else Broadway wouldn't have had Terrence Graham Grandchester, the King of Broadway, the most talented actor of his generation. Is it really all that has persuaded you that we were made for each other? All the good time that we spent together in college, it counts for nothing?

Terry, I would like to apologize about our second breakup after our little reconciliation. I am begging your pardon if I was hard with you, but you had a duty to fulfill, and we had forgotten it or more rightly temporarily ignored it. I am sorry not to have answered you and also for my wedding to Albert. I cannot explain all of this in a letter, I must absolutely explain it in person. So we have to see each other. I don't know if you are free after your return from England, but I could find time to come and see you in person. What I have to tell you is very important. And if I were to go to your mother's next Sunday for lunch ? She had invited me when we met a few months back on the occasion of the New Year's holidays.

About our love, I haven't changed either, like you, I still love you. But let's meet first, I must explain why I married Albert. And I pray to God that you will forgive me. Alright, Terry? I am very eager to see you again. I hope that fate will be kinder with us this time around.

I wish you good luck in all your endeavors. Kisses.
