I fear things are far too complicated to explain in person, so I am writing this letter to you. I am leaving because I think if I don't, I will only make a mess of things even more than I already have. I envy your wife. It hurts every time I see your Emma being rejected by her mother. I am sorry.

I cannot stand this anymore. I am catching feelings of love for a child that does not belong to me, and now I wish Mr. Appleton would see me for what I am and that is sinful. I must leave sooner... Perhaps it wouldn't be as painful if I just began to pack my belongings tonight... I have to get out of here... It's not right.
