I've dated him for the longest time and I consider myself extremely blessed to have done it. However it's time to let him go. No, I haven't fallen for another man, as you may be asking yourself.

He's fallen for another girl.

He doesn't want to confess to himself that he has. I'm relatively certain that she doesn't want to admit to herself, that they've fallen for each other. But they have. And it's time they acknowledge that to themselves and to each other.

Surprisingly, I'm not jealous. Oh, don't get me wrong. I was in the beginning. But thinking back, I think it was more of me trying to convince myself that I wasn't losing him. But if I could pick any girl to come after me, she would be the one.

That's an odd thought, isn't it? I haven't even broken up with him yet and I'm already picking out the girl that I think that he should date after me. It's funny in an ironic way. But she's the best for him.

Besides, she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. Look at all the mysteries that she's solved. Add to that the mysteries that they've solved together…

I would just sit at home and worry about him. She would be out there with him, in the middle of all that danger. She's willing to go anywhere with him. I've lived in Bayport for so long that I've become a small city type of girl and the big cities bother me. She's comfortable in whatever town they're in; be it Bayport or New York City.

Speaking of big cities, he doesn't know that I know what happened in Cairo. A friend of mine saw him there and not knowing that he was on a case went over to say hi to him. She saw them kiss. Then after she came home, she came here and told me what happened. It was then I realized it was the beginning of the end. That I was losing him.

And that's why I'm giving him up. It's going to hurt so bad for both of us but I need to do it. For the three of us.

Callie's just left and I'm sitting on my bed, my jaw on the floor in disbelief. I can't believe it. At all. Callie and Frank breaking up? That's completely unbelievable. Those two have been dating forever and there were bets for when Frank was going to propose.

I'm not looking forward to Joe coming over today. Considering that we haven't seen each other in over a month, I would be ecstatic if it were any other day. But today's not like any other day. Callie's breaking up with Frank. I have to face Joe with this knowledge and not tell him. I have no idea how I'm going to do it. I especially have no idea how I'm going to do it when Callie calls. I made her promise that she would call me when she gets home after…it's done.

This is going to break Frank's heart. But I agree with Callie. It has to be done. Frank fell for Nancy a long time ago and vice versa. I've only seen those two together a few times and I've seen the chemistry between the two. Combined with what Joe's told me, it seems Callie's only doing what's right for her and Frank.

There's the doorbell. Let's hope I can pull this off.
