Patton sat there, on the bench. He had a pile of their letters next to him along with a candle.

He looked at the letters, tears starting to form once more. He had been crying ever since he heard the news.

He smiled sadly as looked through the letters. Letters that signified the love they shared. Letters that showed their care for one another.

Apparently, it didn't matter. Those memories seemed to be flushed down the drain of Logan's mind.

What had he done wrong? He must've done something. Why else would Logan, the love of his life, do a thing like this?

He sighed and picked up a letter. He opened it and smiled. It was the first letter Logan wrote to him.

I saved every letter you wrote me

From the moment I read them, I knew you were mine

You said you were mine

I thought you were mine...

Do you know what Virgil said when we saw your first letter arrive?

He said: 'Be careful with that one, love, he will do what it takes to survive'

He stood up and paced the room. He smiled at the memories of how happy they were.

You and your words flooded my senses

Your sentences left me defenseless

You built me palaces out of paragraphs

You built cathedrals

He sat down again and picked up more letters.

I'm rereading the letters you wrote me

I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line

For some kind of sign of when you were mine

He looked out the window and sighed.

The world seemed to burn...

Burn

He picked up the pamphlet that he had received this morning. He scanned through it, tears threatening to fall again.

You published the letters he wrote you

You told the whole world how you brought this man into our bed

In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives

Do you know what Virgil said when he read what you'd done?

He said: 'You have married an Icarus. He has flown too close to the sun.'

Tears were know streaming down Patton's cheeks.

He started to rip at the pamphlet. He couldn't bear to look at their conversations any longer.

You and your words obsessed with your legacy!

Your sentences border on senseless!

And you are paranoid in every paragraph

Of how they perceive you....

You, you, you!

He looked down at the pamphlet and some of the letters which he had subconsciously torn to shreds.

The papers started to dampen with his teardrops.

He looked over to the candle and back to the letters.

He made up his mind.

I'm erasing myself from the narrative

Let future historians wonder how Patton reacted when you broke his heart.

He kneeled down in front of the candle and placed the corner of the letters into the flame.

He watched the flame grow slightly as he dropped the letters into a bucket.

You have torn it all apart and I'm watching it burn

Watching it burn!

He grabbed more letters that he had written himself. No one should get to know how he reacted.

The world has no right to my heart!

The world has no place in our bed!

They don't to know what I said!

I'm burning the memories

Burning the letters that might have redeemed you

He placed the letters into the flame and watched them shrivel up and blacken.

You forfeit the rights to my heart!

You forfeit your place in our bed!

You'll sleep in your office instead!

With only the memories of when you were mine!

He watched the letters burn in the bucket. His tears now falling onto the flames.

"I hope that you burn..." He murmured.

He put out the flame so it wouldn't burn down the house. He looked at the blackened letters and sighed.

He looked over to the bench where Logan's letters still sat.

He gathered them and walked out of the room.
