She left, Julia. Eve left. Slipped away, just like you. She didn't know me as well as I'd thought. When I tried to hold her, she lashed out, unprovoked. She screamed at me and tried to flee. All I wanted was to show her how much I loved her. I treated her to coffee, took her into my own home, the least she could do was let me confess. You were gentler than Eve, Julia. She was ungrateful and violent. She did not look at me sweetly as she went. Eve looked at me with hate... Fear. I couldn't bring myself to hold her any longer.


So I pushed her down the stairs.

 Because of her, I've got scratches running up my hands and arms and she nicked my eyebrow, Julia. I tried so hard, my love, to hold her softly and kindly as I held you, wrapping my hands around her elegant neck and tightening my grasp gently so to not hurt her. Alas, she couldn't understand it was out of love that I did it, and she resisted. It's a shame she didn't stay. I was hoping she'd last at least as long as you, Julia. But, so far, none of them have. No one has been able to replace you, my love. You were my first, my one and only. You were the first I held and I miss you so much. Julia, I miss you.
