Chapter 42
Theo
Mercury,
It’s harder than I thought to be here. I don’t regret it and I’m trying to stay positive, but I promised I’d always be honest with you.
The truth is I’m scared. I’m scared that this won’t work, or that it will and everything will be different after.
I’m trying to trust in you and in us. Every morning I wake up, I remind myself that I need to do this to get better, to heal, to keep my promise to you that I will always come back.
I’m fighting, baby. I’m fighting with everything I have to do this for us and come home to you. Remember you own my heart, Dawson. I promise to keep it beating for you.
Don’t forget our trade. You gave me your forever and you have mine in return.
I love you.
Please wait for me.
