Dear Bobby,Receiving your letter was like drinking a cool draught of water on a hot day. Alas, as I read on it was more like a rude awakening from a pleasant dream by splash of cold water to the face.I feel somewhat guilty to have been a part of something I would usually stand against, and sometimes, I feel ashamed to meet her eyes. But I cannot deny… I cannot deny that I have not been happier in the last few months than I have ever been all my life. That our conversations are replayed like a sweet medley in my head. And the kissing… Oh the kisses.Yes, I understand your position. I hope you do realize that it is exactly because you are this man-the one who understands priority over sentiments- that I love you? And that your trying to do the right thing only makes me love you more…

When did I become this person? What have you done to me? Is it abhorrent that I secretly wish that your relationship ends and that I am here to pick you up? I believe that she is right for you and would make an excellent wife and mother, but what we have is phenomenal. It defies logic.

I’ve promised myself that I wouldn’t do this. I fear that you may not love me as much as I think you do.That I wouldn’t ask this of you. That when this day comes (and I knew it was coming) I’d graciously step aside, let you go and be thankful for the chance to love you. But I can not do this. I am not strong enough.

So I throw caution to the winds and cast my fear aside. I have promised myself a life of no regrets. Choose me…

I want extraordinary, I want you.

Yours alone,

Nancy.

Hmmmmm… definitely two different kinds of women, both tug at me. I can’t wait for the third rejoinder although I’m pretty sure I wont be able to make a choice. I believe Nancy could embody all of them. The strong independent woman, outgoing yet soft at her core and wants nothing more than to be loved in return. The woman who is all heart beneath all the bravado…

This episode reminds me of episode 2, I think this is the woman episode 2 is talking about. Interestingly, I can’t help but think although this is the letter Nancy really wants to write, episode 3 is what bobby might end up receiving. Lol! Not many have the courage to speak of what their heart truly desires.
