Dearest

You need to know, that this is the kind of betrayal that I have little capacity to forgive. It's happened too many times for my heart to consider the friendship that we had before as anything other than a ruse to sway you from me. It took me years before I could speak with Scott with any sort of civility, and that was with the benefit of a California/Florida continental divide. I have yet to consider Allen with any other emotion than loathing.

I cannot have a friendship with him. It will take all of my self-control not to accost him, assault him at their wedding. While my love for you spares you from my contempt, you really should have known better.
