“Justine, if you see this, I’m more sorry than I can express. I’ve been an ass. I don’t deserve you, but I’m still selfish enough that I’m going to beg you for one more chance. This is the apology you deserve, and you deserve it in person, too. If you can see it in your heart to forgive me—even if it’s just enough to let me say goodbye—please let me see you today. And if you want to keep me waiting for an answer to my proposal for months—years!—then you have every right. I’ll still be here when you’re ready to answer.”
