They looked at each other for a few seconds before Tatiana could no longer stand looking at his beautiful, disappointed face. She reached through the doorway, grabbed the handle of the door, and pulled it closed. She heard a loud sigh from the other side before the three locks clicked shut.

Dear Hayden,

I hope you understand how my heart hurts when I see you with that man. I don’t understand how you can do this to me? I know that you are just using him to get through to the time when you can be with me and that he means nothing to you, but it’s still so unbearably painful to see you with him.

I long for you with every cell that is within me, my love. My entire body screams out with the need to be near you, but I know that I have to keep my distance. When I get to see you, it’s as though the pain within me is soothed, for a little while, at least.

I live for those moments. Television interviews. Radio interviews. News articles. I watch them over and over to try and ease my pain, but the only thing that will truly make it better is being with you forever. That time is coming. A time when I am in your arms and I will no longer feel this constant ache for you.

My heart and soul are forever in service to our love.

XOXO
