Kate,
You're still here.
That amazes me. Everyday. You're still here. You haven't left me and I can't understand why. I'm the reason you shot your mothers killer, I've nearly gotten us both killed with my smart ideas and I was a bit of an ass with you after the case with the bombings.
I guess I should tell you why.
I came in to tell you I love you. Again. When I heard you tell that suspect that you remembered everything I panicked. I thought you lied because you didn't feel the same way, in that moment everything changed. I couldn't tell up from down, right from wrong; I just ran, ran away from the precinct trying to figure out my next move. You broke my heart Kate, I couldn't stop loving you, I didn't want to love you but at the same time I didn't want to stop loving you. I was a mess. That's what you do to me.
I can't imagine ever loving anyone else, you're it for me. I wont say that you're my world because firstly that's really cliché and secondly my family is a big part of my life. I'm not saying you mean nothing, you're part of my world. You're like my America, Alexis is my Europe, my mother can be Australia; Do you understand? or am I just rambling and not even making a little sense?
I've been married before and, honestly, they didn't even mean half as much to me as you did. One day, if you let me, I hope I could maybe make an honest woman out of you. I saw those wistful looks at Ryan and Jenny's wedding, I've seen you looking in the windows of jewellery shops as we walk past. You can play it off as nothing but this is something I want to do.
But, hypothetically, if I were to propose to you I would be doing it in person, not in a letter.
Don't worry, I'm not going to come back and throw myself to my knees but this is your warning, one day Kate.
I love you.
'M' is for the question I'm going to ask you one day. I hope to God you say yes.
Rick.
