Rose,

I hope to god you get this.

I don't know what sent you running out last night but I can guess. I —

I guess if I understand this thing you've got going, you only see things that might happen or will, so while I want to say it's something I'd never do, you already know better. And I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry, that it's something I might still do, that you had to experience it. It's —

I'm not safe to be around. Without treating you to the sorry whole story of my life, I don't think I ever was. I just put up the convincing illusion of it when you knew me. You got a skewed perspective.

Rose, I love you I care a lot about you you mean a lot to me I care about you, but people around me tend to get hurt. And I don't mean broken bones and bruises, I mean like last night, or so much worse. And I'd rather never see you again than watch have cause something horrible to happen to you.

You're not the first person I've asked this of, and it gets a bit harder every time — but I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. Necessary. Please, Rose, just keep away from me.

I —

Please.
