Letter 3 My Loving Chase.... I sit here crying nonstop, wishing you were here. I know you leave in a few days to come here but so much happened out in that garden. I am for sure that Clay is the one watching me. I made it a point to wear old clothes, jeans and one of your old shirts to work out in the garden. I was bent over to pull some weeds when I felt as if someone was behind me. It startled me and I jumped up and spun around seeing Clay right behind me. He had this lopsided grin on his face and his eyes looked so strange. His arm was reached out for me as if he was going to touch me. I asked him what he was doing but all he said was that I was pulling up a plant, not a weed and he was going to stop me. But if you could have seen that look Chase you'd know what I was talking about. How long do you think you can stay when you get here? I really need you here my love. I'm scared. I can't talk to Ava about this, she'd never believe me and I really don't have any proof except what I feel. I did mention to her that you are coming here to visit. I just wanted to make sure it was okay. She said it was fine. Had she said any differently I would have had you take me out of this god forsaken place. I don't want to be here anymore Chase. I can't take it. I know Ava needs me but I just can't do this. Last night I was laying on my bed and I felt as if someone was watching me from the doorway. I wanted to get up and close the door but I was too afraid to move. I was almost afraid to breathe. Even if I had a phone, I couldn't call the police. Everyone in this town is so close, no one here would believe an outsider. I love it so much when you call me your "butterfly." I miss you too baby. Don't you worry my love, I'm not going to do anything stupid. You're my whole world and I would never ever cheat on you. You mean too much to me for anything like that. I'm thrilled you were only joking about the house, the fire, my dog and horse and of course Aunt Edna but really Chase, an old gray mare? Are you sure you're okay love? You have me really worried Chase. Next thing you'll be telling me is the mare's name was Mr. Ed. But I'm glad my car is okay. I do appreciate you taking it out and keeping it running well for me. Maybe you are working too hard Chase, maybe you really do need a break.... I'm hoping that as soon as you recieve this letter you will leave and head up here to me. I'll feel so much better when you're here with me. Maybe we can get some answers to all this. I'm sure Clay doesn't want to tango with you. I'm sure while you're here he won't try anything stupid either so finding him out might be a little bit harder. But you know what they say, 'Where there's a will, there's a way.' I won't write again as you'll be here before another letter could reach you. I'll be looking forward to your arrival.... I can't wait to be in your arms and hold you in mine. I love you Chase........always, Rachel
