You need someone strong enough to put you first for once, and I think you probably know by now who that is. At least you will if my plan has worked out.

Drew is a good man, Addi. No matter what he’s done in the past (and I know it all). Hopefully he’ll explain all of that to you one day, and you’ll see things the way I do, but until he does, I just want you to trust me that he’s the best kind of man and he’ll love you like you deserve, if you let him. If you look at his, yes, his, paintings of you, you’ll see it in every brushstroke.

You’ll likely have to convince him he deserves your love too. And he does, Addi. He deserves you, just as you deserve him. He needs nurturing too, honey, and if anyone can convince him of that, it’s you.

As for the will, just know I gave you each partial ownership of the camp. Not only because I was playing cupid, but because you’re both my children. Maybe not by blood, but in my heart, which is the only place it matters to me. I want you both to be happy and I believe being together is the best possible way for that to happen, but I can’t force you two together any more than I have by using this camp. The rest is up to you.

The other reason is because I’m hoping you two can bring Tonalonka back to life. That was always my dream. You know your aunt, God rest her soul, was my everything and it killed me when she died with my unborn son. I made this camp for them. I want it to live on through you and Drew in its basic original purpose—helping kids—but if you can’t do that I have offered it up to a company that can. The lawyer will explain everything.

Anyway, sweetheart, just remember I love you and I want you to be happy.

Any doubts she had about Drew fell away with the tears that ran down her cheeks and she couldn’t wait to be in his arms again.
