   Summary

   For the first time, Edward writes about the festering pit of thoughts and feelings he's been carrying within all along in letters he actually intends to send... eventually.

   Some things were never said, never could be said- but maybe they could be read. And at this point, after all this time, he just wants his spouse to know.
