PROLOGUE
Allee
Four Years Earlier
Madewell~
By the time you read this letter, I will be gone. I have no clue where I’m going or why this is happening to me. I only know I will miss you.
Your name, Ryan, comes from the French word “roi” which means “king.” My name Allee is almost identical to the French word “allée” which means “gone.” LOL. When I am gone, Madewell, I want you to rule with your heart and live your life. You have so much potential, so much to live for. You have a great future ahead of you, with me or without me.
I know one day you will fall in love again. You will because I’m telling you to. I don’t want you to mope around mourning me. Why mourn what you can’t have? I’m sure whomever you meet will be someone I would like.
There’s one other thing I want you to do. Make up with your father. He is the only one you will ever have. We have all erred in our lives, but we all deserve the chance to be forgiven. I hope you will forgive me for leaving you too soon. It’s not your fault, my Superman, I could not be saved.
Go on living, my sweet superhero. Although our time together was so short, it was the best time I ever had. You gave me everything—love, laughter, Paris, and all of you. Just because I’ve stopped living my life, don’t stop living yours.
One last thing…Write, Madewell, write. Write for me. I’ll be reading every word from wherever I am. Always remember…
I love you more~
Allee
