The TV said.

“Dammit Jack!” my boss said.
“What?” I said.
“I told you to be careful when you dust for prints on the TV. You hit the ON button when you push to hard on the TV set.” he said.
“Sorry.” I said.
“Go dust for prints on the mailbox.” my boss said.
“Yes sir.” I said as I picked up my kit and headed towards the door.
“Stupid intern.” my boss said under his breath.
***************
I set my kit down on the ground and began to dust the door of the mailbox. I had dusted it too hard and the door opened. I was curious and took the mail out of the mailbox.
Mike Dirnt
135 Willow Ave.
Berkeley, CA
I opened it up and read it.
Dear Mike,
I’m sorry. I just happened to stumble upon the letters you wrote Billie. I didn’t mean to read them but they were out in the open and I figured it was just songs at first, but as I read I was swept away by guilt. I know I’m the reason he left you Mike, but I didn’t take him from you intentionally. We met at a bar and we became friends and then it wound up becoming more. I knew he was dating you and I knew it hurt him the next morning when he woke up next to me. We decided not to see each other again, because he didn’t want to lose you. He loved you and I knew it. Then I found out I was pregnant. When I told Billie he freaked out. He didn’t want to have to give you up. I told him he didn’t have to give you up. He could have just stayed with you and I would take care of the baby myself. He said he couldn’t do that because he’d feel bad about not taking responsibility. I told him he could tell you that maybe you would understand. He refused. He said that you’d leave him and he didn’t want that to happen.
He decided to leave you and take care of his baby. We of course got married and you basically know the rest. The funny thing is he’s only had sex with me twice since we’ve been married and 3 times since we’ve known each other. He only wants to be with you. Your all he talks about to me. He has told me so many stories about the two of you. Some were cute. Personally my favorite was when you dressed up like a dominatrix for your anniversary and you couldn’t even hit him because you felt bad about hurting him. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that one. I know he loves you and he’s always going to love you. I know he loves me, but he doesn’t love me the way he loves you. You’re his true love Mike.
I’m sorry I forced you two apart. If I could go back in time I’d take it back. I would rather see Billie happy then anything else in the world. He told me that no matter what he was going to make sure our boys had the life they deserved. That’s why he never left me. He’s never even cheated on me since we’ve been married. I was actually surprised that he didn’t cheat on me with you. He hasn’t been with you since we got married. I was expecting him to continue his relationship with you, but I know that he felt guilty enough for fucking up any chance he had of a future with you because he cheated on you. He can never forgive himself for cheating on you like that. He regrets it, he wanted you more than anything else in the world, and because he cheated he couldn’t, because he felt bad if he didn’t take care of Joey and then Jake.
I’m sorry for everything Mike. I didn’t mean for any of it to happen, but it did and for that I owe you the deepest of apologies that I know can never replace the fact that Billie left you. He didn’t want you to know he screwed up, and I see where he’s coming from, but I had to tell you, so this way you weren’t mad at him for it all. I take the full blame. I should have said no, knowing that he was with you, but I was too drunk to realize what I was doing. I know you probably hate me, and you have every right to hate me. But don’t hate Billie for being the man he said he would be, whether he was with you or not, he still loved you and talked about you endlessly. You were the one person in the world he wanted more than anything. Just talk to him please, resolve this conflict between the two of you. Its killing him, and I know its killing you. Just talk to him and let him explain it to you. For the sake of your friendship and your love for each other.
Sincerely,
Adrienne
This Letter is part of the Love Letters from 1-10. This letter was found by me in the Mailbox of Michael Ryan Pritchard the day we found him dead in his home. The letter is from his best friend’s wife. When I informed her that he was found dead in his home, she was mortified. Billie was destroyed by it and attempted suicide several times, thankfully he is still alive, but he has to live with a guilty conscience, because he refused to tell Mike the truth.
