Seated at his desk, Lee Adama began writing.
Shevon,
I've done some thinking about what you said to me. About how I was with you because I couldn't be with her.
I...
In the beginning, when we were starting out, that was true. I admit it. I'm not proud of it, but I'm willing to face that fact.
As time passed, though, she faded from the equation. I came to feel for you for yourself, not as a make-do for a lack of her. You are special, important, treasured to me. /i She i isn't a factor, not anymore, not ever, not even in the future.
You said you are a replacement. To me, you're you. You aren't her; I know that.
You're Shevon. And it's you I want.
Reading over it, he knew it to be the truth, unvarnished and pure.
Now, he knew, the only thing remaining was to get this message to her.
