In any case, his writing is different from yours, yet, similar. He seems like he wants to eat the world in one bite—the way you used to do when we were younger.

Finnegan Gil could be your twin—your grumpy, exasperating, and flirty twin.

I don’t know who he is but chatting with him every day makes me feel less alone. I’m sure you’re thinking this sounds too: You Got Mail. It’s not. I’m not falling in love with him.

I only love you—so come home soon.

Love always,

Piper

ChapterForty-Eight

Archer,

We got a puppy.

By we, I mean Derek and me. She’s adorable, and I named her Halsey. I know what you’re thinking, I used one of the names for our future children, but I’m sure she’ll adore you and be happy that I did it.

Things with Derek are becoming blurry.

Remember that time when we talked about my parents’ relationship, and you said that if we ever fell in love with a third person, we could try to work it out… would you be willing to try?

Because I think I’m falling for Derek.

Forget I wrote that. Let’s not discuss Derek again.

Not ever again. I’ll try not to fall in love. Okay, I’m working on that, but he fills all those places that need love—not your places, but others.

Just come home soon, and I’ll forget about him—hopefully.

Love always,

Piper

ChapterForty-Nine

Arch,

Finnegan Gil propositioned me.

It wasn’t exactly like that movie, Indecent Proposal but… a little.

He wants a threesome with Derek, him, and me. If they’re anything like what he writes… I shouldn’t want it, but I haven’t had sex in years—you know that. Ha!

The asshole just wants sex—no feelings—and for me, that’s a hard-limit. I want intimacy, love, and… would I have accepted if he had proposed something different? I don’t know. I’d be lying if I say I’m not tempted. We’re honest with each other. Like the time you told me you kissed that guy at a party because you were curious.

This isn’t just curiosity but also… it’s hard to explain. Maybe I considered it because I want to be with you and Derek and… this guy, Finn, reminds me so much of you?

I’m so confused, and I miss you a lot.

Come home soon!

Love always,

Piper
