Jan,
So you have nothing to lose.
This may seem like a bad thing to you, darling. But let me tell you this, and if it is the only thing you learn from our correspondence, I will be happy.
When you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear. What can anyone or anything take from you that you haven’t already lost? It is often said that a man with nothing to lose is the most dangerous man of all, and now you know why.
I have never tried to tell you what to do, January. I always believed that if you weren’t free to choose for yourself the path that you took, you would never be happy. But if you don’t choose soon, I fear that the spark in you that I always loved, the one that we tried so hard to kindle and keep alight, may go out.
And I won’t be there this time to help you save it.
Good luck,
Pete
