Chapter 4- (BJ's letter)

Beej reached over for his pen and a piece of paper. He began the letter again, as he had been trying to for days.

"My dearest Peg, I don't know what to say. I've tried writing this several times, never knowing what to do or how to write this without hurting you, but I can't. I can't say it without hurting you, so I just will lay it out. I was weak, I was weak one night and I gave in to temptation. I spent the night with that nurse. I don't know if the baby is mine, but the timing is on. I'm sorry, Peg, I'm sorry, I can't say anything more. I should have told you before, you shouldn't have found out this way. I was afraid you'd leave me then and am more afraid you'll leave me now. You and Erin are everything to me, I love you both very much, you make my life worth waking up for. I am deeply in love with you, my dear, and I hope you still can love me after you read this. I'll be waiting for your response, tell Erin I love her more every day I'm away from her, and I miss her so much. I love you sweetheart, Love,

BJ"

Early the next morning, BJ got up and went over to the office. After giving the envelope one last look, he placed it in the outgoing box. He hoped that what he had said in the letter would be enough to save his marriage.
