Addison's POV

I open a letter I receive in the post, it's another visitation request from Ray, the eighth or ninth one in the last few weeks. Stefan doesn't know I've been continuously receiving them, or that I've been keeping them, hiding them in a drawer. These letters scare the hell out of me, but part of me, even after the first letter, wants to see him, confront him, get some deserved answers from him, get closure, as well as telling him to stop sending me these letters. Stefan will be angry if he finds out I've kept the letters, and if I see Ray.

I read the letter, it says almost the same as the other ones say, 'I'm not sure if you're getting these, opening them or maybe perhaps just throwing them in the bin, which you have every right to, but I really need to see you. Please come and see me Addison, I need to talk to you face to face, I promise you'll be safe, how can you not be safe? This place is on-guard and ready for anything. Please Addison, I understand that you want nothing to do with me, I don't blame you for wanting that either. I just need to put what happened behind me. Please visit me, whenever you can, and sooner rather than later if possible'.

I am going today to visit him, I have decided, I actually decided it last night and with Stefan at work and me not at work, it's the perfect chance to see him, even if I can only stand him for 10 minutes, I just need long enough to tell him to leave me alone, me, my husband and not to even think about reaching out to anyone else he may or may not know.

Once I am ready, I leave and make the journey to see Ray, my nerves are through the roof, but I know I want to do this. I will be safe, my daughter will be safe, whatever happens, we'll be safe. I arrive at the psychiatric prison unit and head inside, nearly turning back to the turn a couple of times. I feel like I'm crazy right now, not literally, but in the way that I am going to see the man who was, and could still be obsessed with me, he stalked me, even in my own home, kidnapped me, held Stefan and I hostage and nearly killed us, or at least Stefan. I go inside and tell the receptionist that I'm here to visit Ray, showing the letter. Once I have gone through some checks, I'm allowed in.

"Ray has been keen to see you, Mrs Colt" The man walking me to Ray tells me. So he's still obsessed with me then.

"I can't say the feeling is mutual, I'm only here to tell him face to face to leave me alone" I tell him.

"Fair enough, that is understandable" He nods.

"This is a bit of a walk" I say a little out of breath.

"How far along are you?" He asks. My bump has really popped out in the last few weeks.

"About 6 months now" I smile.

"Your first?" He questions. I nod. "Good luck, becoming a first time parent is exhausting, but nothing beats it, my eldest, a girl, she had us wrapped around her little finger from the moment we entered our arms" He says.

"How many do you have?" I ask.

"4, my wife has given me 4 beautiful kids, my girls are the older ones, we wanted a boy, we got our boy, then we were surprised to be blessed with a second boy, we're not sure if we're done yet, even though our youngest boy is 4 years old now, we kinda miss the baby stage, but 4 kids is still a handful, so who knows, we may have a number 5 at some point" He answers.
