Dear Oliver,

I am resigning from the dead letter office. I think I my presence here will no be need to due new personal arrangements in the office. Thank you. For great two year in the DLO for I will never forget it what you taught me in how I should treat myself and others. I ask one request from you, don't come after and don't try find me or contact me, till I am ready and explain why I am leaving right just the words hurt to much to say to your face or put into words in this letter.

Goodbye Oliver

Sincerely

Ms. McIenery

Oliver stunned she is gone no trace of her left in her desk in the DLO. She has left with no trace of where is or where she will be transferring to. Why? Things have to end like this? Why? If only he could have done things differently three days ago.

Three days ago

All four members of POstables team were making their way to back to the DLO from friendly breakfast before a long hard days at work at the DLO began. On their way back Oliver was trying to engage them all with his new found sense of humor by telling jokes he read from a joke book he read that Norman recommended to him. Oliver cleared his to attempt to tell the following joke

"Okay, why didn't the mail man make it to the other side of the road?"

Shane curious know and liking that he finally embracing a sense of humor and she asked

"Why?"

Happy that shane was to ask and has he could tell her curiosity was peak and he was happy to oblige in her curiosity and answer,

"Because he was late for delivery."

They laughed he was a hang of the sense of humor thing he was laughing with them and so happy walking into the DLO but he laughter stopped,

Norman, Rita and Shane kept laughing until they were stunning to find a red hair slender beautiful woman in a red coat say.

"What is all the laugher about"

Norman said, "Oliver was telling.." Rita slaps the stomach he coughs and stop talking as Oliver asks,

"Holly, what are you doing here?"

She gets out something in her purse hold a letter, " I got your letter."

Oliver turns to shane gesturing for her

To leave them alone to talk.

Shane coughs "Well, um I see we are intruding. We have a team meeting to go to."

Norman said, "What team meeting?"

Rita understood shane means of leaving for holly and oliver to talk and inform by whispering to Norman,

"The meeting, where holly and oliver need to be alone"

Norman said "oh right that meeting must have slip my mind, thanks for reminded me rita. What I do without that photographic memory of yours."

Norman and Rita walk out together as shane slowly starts to leave but stop before grasping Oliver's arm Holly noticing something, shane asks oliver

"Will you be alright?"

"I will be fine Ms. McIenery, thank you go on ahead I will meet you later for work assignments."

"Okay, good luck oliver" Shane said as she left.

Now that Holly and Oliver were alone she says,

"So that is her then?"

Oliver asked her, "Her who, the one you mention in your letter" stating the letter for word,

"A wise woman inform me I stop living in limbo and with my life. Holly please I need to live my life and not live limbo with you or without in it." She looks at him tells him, "You forgot to mention she was pretty and looks like me when we met."

"Holly, enough stop it please avoiding the main problem in hand, you left me remember in my favorite place in the world why did you leave me?"

"Why didn't run after me? Holly asked Oliver. The room was silent not sure how neither them are able to answer their own questions

Holly knew she was being quiet cruel to him and he didn't deserve she come here to make feel worst but give hope or closure.

"Oliver, I'm sorry, I didn't come here to hurt you. I want to explain why I left and everything but I won't want do it here. And I want us to talk somewhere private and neutral."

Oliver agreed, "I understand, of course maybe we have a drink or dinner at the mailbox grille after work and go from there"

Holly smiled, "Sounds good." She walks away kisses him in the cheek and leaves. When Holly reached the DLO door shane, rita and norman topple over each other on the floor and that clue in to Oliver they were listening Holly says nothing but steps over them.

Oliver walks over to his team to help them off their feet. But Oliver notice norman got rita taken care of as norman her help rita up to her feet by taking her and with one swift swoops lifts her off into his arms. Rita and Norman's breathe was taken away as their eyes met Rita's hands on his shoulder firm and strong she couldn't help but blush and norman having his arms around her waist but he couldn't help but stare into those sparkling eyes and the smile he adore.

Oliver walked towards Shane for strange reason was still lying at the floor he coughs and says

"Miss, McIenery, may I be happy to help you off the floor"

Shane looks up to see Oliver's hand out for her grasp no matter how much she wanted to take his she couldn't so she pulled herself up while telling Oliver

"Thank you for the offer but as you can see I am fully capable of getting myself up." Then she apologized

"Sorry for listening in on you and Holly we just.."

"No need to explain, I already know for need to fulfill your curiosity."

Shane trying not to the slightest hint of blush so she changed the subject

"So holly she got your letter."

"Yes she did?" Oliver giving a sighs of relief.

"And now that she is back you are now able to do what have you have been set out to do dance with her and be.." She couldn't finish the sentence "be with her" but she couldn't saying and when Oliver looked at her with those sad blue eyes of his she walked away turned from and said,

"Let's get to work shall we? Got a lot of dead letters to sort out."

Oliver sighed, "Miss. McIenery is right let get to work." Oliver walked off straight to his desk took off his suit jacket rub his hand and pick a letter from a sorting box he pick out a large flat evenlope with the mail and return address rubbed off he picked a letter opener a letter opener his wife holly gave him for his birthday. He rip open the evenlope and found out a letter attached with a set of divorce papers.

He was stunned in shocked Oliver could see something was wrong she walked over to him and ask

"Oliver are you okay what is wrong?"

Oliver handed her a letter attached to the divorce papers and asked her,

"Please read?"

She took the letter the front had the name "Cathy" writing on it

She open the letter and began to read,

"Dearest Cathy,

We have been married for three years, we knew each other longer than we were college sweethearts. I am sorry things have changed since the miscarriage you grown distant you have ignore me and I Think you blame for the lost of child. I feel that you do not love me anymore. I was crush when you told me to leave and never come back I took to heart. I was unsure how on earth I could win you back. But I s should be honest with you during the separation I met someone, someone who notices me as a person who willing to fall love again to open my heart too. But this woman told I should not give up on us not unless I try to win yon back. So I am writing this letter giving you the choice to have me back aa your husband for better or worst or cut all loose ties and let me go. Forgive me, I still care and want the absolute best for you even though it is not with me. If you want me back all you have to do is ask because during our time and I have come to realize when you really loved someone must be willing to go after the person you want to be with. So I propose we meet to where we first met if you are not there 3pm I know I will be getting these divorce papers signed.

I love you Cathy and always will

Hope to be still your husband

John "

After reading the letter the #POstables said nothing the DLO was quiet and Oliver sheds tears and walks out the DLO not looking back.
