Dear Calleigh,
I received your letter today; I thought it was weird when I saw your handwriting and name on the envelope. My mind started racing, I had no idea why you would mail me a letter instead of just giving it to me at work. Then I read it and realized that what you said in that letter was everything you couldn't say to my face. I had to read the letter twice before I could actually believe it. You love me and you actually admit it. You have no idea how long I have wanted to hear you say that, and now you have. Well, you wrote it.
I don't think I have ever had a smile on my face as big as I did when I read your letter. I think my neighbors thought I won the lottery or something, and in a way I have. The most amazing girl in the world is in love with me. I have got to be the luckiest guy on the planet. I just want to say that there is no way I could ever think loving you was a mistake. I am in love with you Calleigh; I have been for a long time. In all these years I have just feel more in love with you, you are the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with. I get butterflies in my stomach every time I see you or even hear your name, and when I see you with another man, like Jake, I get a feeling I have never had before, I get jealous. Because you let Jake in, you let him become part of your life, and that is what I have wanted for so many years. But now after reading your letter I realize why you do that. In the end, you know what will happen with Jake, you know there will be another undercover job, and he will be gone. Me, I am something different though, something you haven't felt before, and you're not sure you can handle that. I am here to tell you though Calleigh you can, but you don't have to, I would never leave you. I love you too much. I will always be here for you.
Lastly, there is no one in this world that I could possibly love more than I love you. You're perfect Calleigh, in every way you need to be. I know that you have your walls, and I want you to know that you have them for good reason. What you might not know though, is that when they come down, and they will, I will be standing there waiting for you. I know I have said this a couple times in this letter but, I am in love with you Calleigh Duquesne and that will never falter. I am glad you wrote that letter, and I am glad that I am writing you this one. Because like you said about Speed, with our job and the bullet in my brain you never know what might happen, and I don't want you to ever doubt the love I feel for you. I love you more than life itself and that will never change.
Love you always,
Eric Delko
