Don't stop being honest. You're the one being rational, you're the one being- kindhearted. Even if it hurts... it's better to know the truth.
...I can't imagine what it's like for you. There you are, in a fast-paced learning environment, located in an exotic location, with people who- hopefully don't trouble you with tales of losing children or broken marriages or faulty father figures. At least if they do, you don't have to feel- indebted to them, courtesy of years of friendship or what have you.
But please don't go. Terry's despondent, Tony's distant, Pansy's- a bitch- and I must be the worst fiancee in the world not to hold your compass steady. I have no right to ask you any of this, save to implore you to take your mother's feelings into account. She doesn't deserve your distance because of our mistakes.
...my kids are performing a holiday concert for Diwali on 9 November. I would love for you to come- but the timing's off anyway, with your studies. But it's an honest sentiment. It's where my heart lies- with this community. Now you'll know where I'll be- fixed, if you ever want to chance dry land again.
I want you to be happy, Mike. I want you to be so happy. I love you too.
