"Audrey,
I think we will realize there was more to say this week. Is it too late? I'm not sure, but let's not have this note be all that we say on the subject. There should have been more urgency! One of us, no matter who was at fault, should have been willing to do anything to get a message across that there was a reason to talk, that there was someone injured and in need of assistance. We are neither guilty, but we're both to blame. I have so many great memories of us, but for the life of me I can't find one that doesn't resemble a dog-eared photo in a shoe box. When did we get so old? Have we been at the beginning of this for so long that we may have forgotten to start? I'm not sure what else to say, so little has been spoken out loud that even this seems too much.
Always, whether present or past,
Connor."
"Connor,
Your note definitely makes sense, hon. I just can't understand why we seem to matter so much to you when it's convenient, but not when I truly need you. I think Japan will be good for you. You seem so much more interested in what Ken needs from you than what I do; better to serve the one you truly love. I also don't know what else to say. I'm tired of always needing to check myself before giving anything to you, like you are grading my work. I think we both know where this is going and I have to say that I'm disappointed; I always thought you said that you wanted so much more with me.
Tired of being passed by while present,
Aud."
