Subject: re: Me again

Sam,

Of course we can write! I would love that! I miss talking to you. I think one thing that we established today is that, despite everything, we are still great friends. I could use one right now.

And I feel like I need to apologize. The afternoon went so well and then I made it awkward after I used the bathroom. I’m sorry about that.

Anyway, in regards to your question about my outfit … will the same “no questions about our significant other” rule apply here? Because in order to answer your question, I will need to break that rule.

You see, Nate expects certain things from me as his wife. And one of those things is how I look when I leave the house. And that means wearing outfits similar to what you saw me wearing yesterday. And you’re right, that getup wasn’t me. But I need to keep him happy so that our home remains happy. For Brielle.

I know that you probably won’t understand and that’s okay. I made the bed that I have to lie in night after night. I accept it and roll with it.

Anyway, I gotta go for now. I hope you enjoy the rest of the visit with your mom.

Love, Maria
