Fitz,

I can't begin to explain how happy I was after reading your letter. It made me so happy to know that you and the kids are rebuilding and strengthen your relationship with each other. I know how much they mean to you and how you struggled with the distance between you all. It makes happy that they want to lead normal lives away from the public eye. I know you want them as far away from politics as possible. So I can imagine how happy you are that they want the same.

I can't really say that I was too shock that you got rid of Cyrus. It's been a long time coming. I just wish I could have been there for that conversation. Now don't get me wrong I love that old goat to the moon and back, but he's not the man that I once thought he was and that was a hard pill to swallow. So I know that it must have been devastating to have to come to the same conclusion that I have. He only had his best interest at heart and nobody else's.

In the theme of being honest and truthful I can admit although with great difficulty I am jealous of your new chief of staff. They way that you talk about her in your letter leaves little to be desired. I know that there is nothing romantic going on between you two, but it's still hard to hear you talk about another woman in the way that you did. It makes me feel like it just another person in your life that I have to fight off to keep your attention on me. I know I'm being silly but I can't help the way I feel.

Now on to happier things, I was surprised to learn that you actually divorced Mellie. Somewhere in the back of my head I always figured that I would always have to share you with her. I thought that you would never divorce her so imagine my surprise when I read that you had. I am beyond elated that now you and I can have a real chance at being together without having to worry about it being wrong or it being considered cheating.

Also I want to say thank you for letting me be the first person to know. Even though you didn't have to do that because it had nothing to do with me, you still put me first. And for that I am grateful.

Here's a little known fact about me since you shares some of yours. I wanted to be a teacher when I was younger. I can still remember lining up all of my dolls and stuffed animals and pretending that I was the teacher. I like to think that if my mom hadn't died that I would have become a teacher. And for a little while after that I decided that I wanted to be a nurse. Because I may not have been able to help my mother but I would have been able to save someone else's.

I can understand wanting to make your father proud. Because I did the same thing as you I went into a field that I had no desire to be in so that my father would love me and be proud of me. But I like to think that everything happens for a reason. If we wouldn't have taken the paths that we did we wouldn't know each other and I'm sorry but that's not a risk that I'm willing to take.

Want to know something else that I haven't shared with anyone else. I don't want to be a fixer anymore. I'm tired of fixing everyone else's problems and not being able to fix my own. I feel stuck in my life right now. I'm seriously thinking of closing OPA and going back to school. I don't want to be in politics anymore Fitz. I'm tired of this world it's nothing but lies and scandals and I no longer want to be a part of that.

If I'm really being honest I no longer want to be in the DC area. I want to move to a small town where nobody knows my name and lead a normal life. I want to open up my own bakery. Silly right considering I can't cook huh? Well guess what over the last couple of months I have learned that while my cooking skills maybe lacking my baking skills are on point. But most importantly it makes me happy Fitz and not a lot has done that lately.

Don't get me wrong yes I want to leave DC behind and start over somewhere new but I want you right by my side. I know that realistically there is nowhere that you can go where people won't know who you are but a girl can dream can't she. Small town living doesn't sound so bad does? Being away from all the press and politics and just not having to deal with big city living anymore.

Now because I know you I know that you are panicking at this moment thinking that I'm getting ready to move away. Well don't worry your pretty little head darling. I'm not going anywhere just yet. But with that said I will be closing OPA and you are the first to know. But don't worry I don't plan on moving away anytime soon but don't get wrong I do plan on moving. And when I do you will be the first to know.

I miss you Fitzgerald, in a way that I have never missed anyone before. I think that I am finally ready to have that face to face conversation with you now. It's time to get everything out in the open and to move forward.

I can't wait to for what the future holds for us.

Olivia
