"Mummy, when can we go back home? I want to see daddy! I miss him heaps!" The young girl asked her mother. The girl who had her father's eyes, the girl who had her father's stubbornness and the girl who looked like her father so much that it made her mother even more depressed.

"Ashleigh, you know the deal! We can't leave here till they catch those bad guys that are after you and me! Honey, I miss daddy too but we are safe here rather than over where daddy is! Come over here and give your mummy a hug!"

The girl put down her drawing and crayons and ran towards her mother's open arms. The mother hugged her tightly and kissed her on the forehead. After 10 minutes of sitting there, talking, the young girl finally went to sleep. The mother put her down on the bed and tucked her in.

"Goodnight, honey! Sweet dreams!"

The mother quietly stepped out and closed the door. The mother started cleaning up the mess the little girl made. She picked up the drawing and looked at it. It was a picture of father, mother and a child in a park with happy faces. Tears ran down the very distressed mother's face. The mother wiped her tears away and put the drawing away in the drawer. After cleaning up the place, the mother launched into a very deepful sleep.

The next morning, a letter came. The mother was surprised, as no one she loved knew that she or her daughter was here. The mother carefully opened the envelope, trying not to wreck it too much. She slowly lifted the letter out of the envelope and unfolded the letter and read it out loud.

Dear Sheridan,

I am missing you so much that sometimes I see you standing in front of me. I wish you were. How is my little sweet daughter, Ashleigh? Is she coping well! Don't worry about me because I am doing just fine.

Sheridan. Honey, you know I love you but I think you and Ashleigh should start a new life without me. Find someone else to love and someone who will look after Ashleigh like a father should. Also I want you to tell Ashleigh all this. I am not doing this to make you sad, Sheridan. I doing this so that Ashleigh would have a better life without me because all I bring on her is sadness.

I love you Sheridan and I will always remember you till I die. The woman who made my life seem wonderful even if it wasn't Thank you for everything you have done to me. Good luck and goodbye.

Love, Eric (your lover)

P.S- I have attached the divorce papers, which I already signed. All you have to do is sign it and send it to the address written on the divorce papers. Thank you!

Sheridan took out the divorce papers and saw it already signed. She quickly signed the papers and folds it. She pulled out an envelope and wrote the address on it. She put the divorce papers into it and sealed it up.

She rang up Mr. Richard and asked him if he could look after Ashleigh. He agreed, so Sheridan ran into the post office. She walked over to the mailing box and whispered. "I love you too, Eric!" before mailing the divorce papers.
