Chapter 6
Abraham gets the "Dear John" letter
Nuala sat motionless in her bedroom, she stared at the blank page for a long while. She did not know what to write to him. She knew that he would take it hard. She was fond of Abraham Sapien he had loved her in a special way. They were so much alike they shared everything from poetry to having the same points of view on many subjects. Because she loved Abe it was the reason she was leaving him. It hurt her that he could not tell her when her mistakes were costing the BRPD he was afraid of hurting her feelings. Honesty was important for her. The only other male she knew in her life was blunt he cared not to spare anyone, including herself their feelings. Nuala had to leave she felt it was her time, to find out who she was as an individual. Her brother was right he was too weak to protect her. The BRPD did nothing to her they helped her when she had nowhere to go. Because she had surrendered herself to the BRPD they "cataloged" her just as they did all the other different species by taking possession of her valuables. Many of the items she brought with her could never be replaced. As Nuala assessed the damage she realized that she had no one to blame but herself. She could hear her Nuada's last words as she left the Troll Market, "your days of running away are over". As so the letter began, her heart felt heavy, in her long days there never was anyone like Abe, tears stained her face and fell from her haunting but beautiful yellowish eyes.
My Darling one,
I will always be in your debt. You who have taken me in and taught me many wonders for which I will always be grateful. I now know from you that there is a special bond of love that will be between us forever and always. You have warmed my heart and helped me to be whole again. My Abraham, it is with great sadness I must say, I will leave this place, I will not be returning ,you may try to look for me but I ask that you not.
Your kindred loving spirit,
Nuala
