Linda had been working for four straight hours when Sandy's voice came over the intercom.
"Mrs. McMahon, your solicitor Mr. Jones is here."
Linda raised her eyebrows in surprise, she wasn't expecting him. "Um ok, let him in."
Linda got up and went to the door and opened it. "Mr. Jones," she said as she shook his hand. "I wasn't expecting you, do come in."
They walked into Linda's office and Linda motioned for him to sit down.
"I know my visit is unexpected but I have to give you something Vince asked me to give you, should anything happen to him. It's a video tape he made about three months before his death."
"A tape?" Linda asked confused.
"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't give it to you when we had Vince's reading of the will the other day but Vince told me he only wanted you to see it and nobody else, I didn't think it would be right to give it to you with the children there."
"Right, thank you." Linda said as she took the tape the solicitor handed her.
"I must go, thank you for your time." Mr. Jones said, getting up.
"Thank you for bringing it." Linda said seeing Mr. Jones out.
"Goodbye Linda."
"Bye,"
Mr. Jones walked out of the door and Linda put the tape into her VCR she had in her office. She sat down on the sofa and pressed play on the remote.
"Hi baby." Smiled Vince.
Linda smiled at Vince's pet name for her.
"I've always called you that haven't I? Ever since we first met, you always were and always will be my baby." Vince stopped. "Well, if you're watching this tape that means that the worst has happened and I am no longer with you. I decided to make this tape because I wanted you to know how I really feel about you. I was never that good at expressing my feelings, like you know, so I figured that if I expressed it on a tape you would certainly know and you wouldn't have any doubt of my feelings. Only thing is I don't think there are any words to describe how I feel about you.."
He paused.
"But I'm gonna try my best.. When I met you, you changed my life; you turned my world upside down and inside out. The effect you had on me was tremendous; you made me want to become a better person. You were thirteen when we met, weren't you? And I was sixteen; I guess nowadays it wouldn't have been such a big deal as it was back then. It took me by surprise, falling for a thirteen year old. It's funny I never knew someone as young as you could be so mature but yet so very naïve at the same time and could have such an effect on me. You were so innocent and sweet, then I walked into your life and things started happening I guess I made you grow up faster than you were ready too I mean you married me at seventeen, you gave up the chance to date other men all for me. What I'm trying to say is that before you walked into my life I'd never known anybody to give up their life for me, let alone someone as young. Do you know you were the first person who I ever felt really loved me for being me. You walked into my life and I began to go straight, no more stealing cars and beating up other guys, before you came along I was close to being sent to prison but you, you made me want to change my life around. You became my reason for living and then you agreed to marry me. God knows why! What did I have to offer you? A caravan in a trailer park that we could live in." Vince rolled his eyes. "Even now I still don't know why you agreed to it, was it the idea of being married at such a young age against the advice of our parents? I honestly don't know, asking you to marry me when you were so young was selfishness on my part I guess. I knew from the moment I set eyes on you that I had to make you mine, I had to know you belonged to me. Maybe that was wrong of me." Vince's voice trailed off.
Linda wiped away a silent tear.
"I know our marriage wasn't always perfect and I acknowledge that it was all my fault, I took you for-granted numerous times why you stayed with me I don't know but I thank God that you did. How you found the strength and the courage to forgive me for everything I did I just don't know and I don't think I ever will. You saved my ass hundreds of times and most importantly, you saved me from myself. If it wasn't for you I would have been dead long ago, my demons Lin, you helped me fight them, you made me see that I didn't have to put up with what my mom and step-fathers had done to me. If I hadn't have had you to help me fight those demons, they would have got me long ago. You were and are my life Linda; you've given me two beautiful children, Shane and Stephanie. The best kids any parent could want, I know they are going to get you through this; they're going to be the ones that pull you through. I suppose there's not really much left to say except that I love you, I love you with all of my heart, you're are the only woman I ever loved and the only woman I ever will love. I'm sorry for all the hurt I've caused you, if I could go back in time and rectify my mistakes, God knows I'd take it to save you from the pain. I'm so sorry for everything that I ever did that hurt you, I love you baby."
The tape ended and Linda was in tears. She took the tape out of the VCR and put it in her bag, she sat down and her desk and looked at the photo she had of Vince on her desk.
"I wouldn't Vince; I wouldn't change anything, not a moment. I love you sweetheart."
Linda sat there for about an hour thinking about the tape and what Vince had said. She redone her make-up and put on her coat and picked up her bag ready to go. She packed some work she wanted to take home with her and closed the office door behind her.
"Is everything ok Mrs. McMahon?" Asked Sandy as Linda walked out of her office.
"Fine thanks." Linda smiled.
"Do you want me to go over your messages tomorrow then?"
"Umm yeah, yes tomorrow thanks. You can knock off early if you like Sandy."
"Are you sure Mrs. McMahon?" Sandy asked surprised.
"Of course I'm sure. Hey, don't knock it, it's not very often I let you off early!" Linda joked
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye."
