Dear Bridget,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m writing this letter because it\u2019s highly doubtful I\u2019ll ever garner the courage to say this to your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, here goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re totally wrong for each other. You\u2019re the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I\u2019m just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
until I head back to England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the thing\u2026 for some bloody reason, I can\u2019t stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only reason I\u2019m even admitting all of this to you right now is because I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s one-sided. I notice your eyes when you look at me, too. And as crass as I appear when we\u2019re joking around about sex,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my attraction to you is not a joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what\u2019s the purpose of this note? I guess it\u2019s a reminder that we\u2019re adults, that sex is healthy and natural, and that you can find me just through the door past the kitchen. More specifically, it\u2019s to let you know<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that I\u2019m leaving said door cracked open from now on in case you\u2019d like to visit me in the middle of the night sometime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No questions asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s doubtful I\u2019ll even end up sliding this letter under your door anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
