Dearest Anna,
Thanks for writing that letter! I didn't know you had tried to drown yourself. Estéfano was always discreet when it came to the details of his life with you. And I appreciate that he did that, you know? Who knows? Maybe I would've thought different about you if I had known beforehand, before loving you, how you had been suicidal. I hope, love, that you have pushed all those irrational thoughts behind. You are mi amor, mi vida, y te amo — I couldn't live without your bones, your breath, your words, your lips, your home now as my second home. Thank you for not being like all the other girls. Thank you for not giving into my seductions and my whims. I want to respect your wish not to be intimate until we marry. And give God His place in our relationship. Talk soon.
Love you,
Davey Angel
