Dearest Sadie,
I apologize so greatly for the fact that we cannot be friends any longer. I hoped that we could be more than that, but you do not feel the same way. And I see that your man friend is here now. I wish the two of you the best of luck. He has a wonderful girl in his life. I only wish she could be a part of mine as well.
You are one in a million, Sadie. You've made me smile from Rome to Florence, and you're worth more than Italy itself. Part of me wishes we never kissed so I could still spend time with you. But the other part is glad I could be so close to heaven, even for a second. To love in an instant will always overpower the regret of never loving at all.
I hope your man treats you the best, for that is what you deserve. You are a precious gem, Sadie Harrison. You should never be treated any less.
Best of luck and best of love,
Luca.
