A/N Thanks for the reviews! :)
Sue sat on the edge of the bed holding the letter. She was trying to decide if she should read it or not. Was it prying? Should she read it? But she did see her name in it, that would give her the right to read it. These thoughts were battling back and forth in her mind. Her curiosity eventually won out and she unfolded the letter. It was addressed to her anyway she reasoned as she began to read it.
Dear Sue,
I have had many sleepless nights since the day you announced that you were leaving for New York. Tonight is the night before your last day and I have been laying awake thinking of you. I cannot let you leave without telling you what is in my heart. I know that I have had many chances to tell you how I feel. I'm so sorry for not having the courage to tell you before. At the time I thought they were good reasons for not telling you. I did not want to lose our friendship, the rules at work, and fear you did not feel the same way about me.
You are the best thing that ever happened in my life. What will I do without you? How can I go into work each day and not see you there? I will miss our talks, our dinners together, and walking Levi. We have had many good times over the past three years. They have been the best years of my life. Do you know how much you inspire me? You are the best person I know.
Sue, you are a caring, loving and beautiful person. This is why I must tell you…I love you Sue. I love you with my whole heart and soul. I don't want to stand in the way of your career advancement. I want you to be happy. I just didn't want to see you go without letting you know how much I love you. I adore you and I wish you weren't leaving. I know it would be selfish of me to want you to stay, but I won't stand in your way. Just know that you will always be in my heart and I will be thinking of you everyday. I will love you always.
Yours Forever,
Jack
Tears fell onto the page as Sue finished reading. She carefully folded the letter and wiped the wetness from her cheeks. Sue took a deep breath taking in all that Jack had written in the letter. She thought he didn't ask her out on a date because he wasn't interested in her in that way. Meanwhile Jack was in love with her all this time. She could hardly believe it, he loved her just as much as she loved him.
