He picks it up, turns it over in his hand, knows exactly what it is, who it's from.
Steve.
The handwriting gives it away. He should call it in, he really should just pick up the phone and ring Jensen - but he can't. He just can't.
Chris swallows and opens it up, slides his hand over the bold letters, reads the words carefully. And tries to just keep his breathing even.
Why does he do this? Why does he - Chris - pine over him like this? And god, if Steve's serious about leaving him, about keeping away, why does he keep coming into his life?
It makes absolutely no sense. At all.
And what he should do is call Jensen. Give over the letter - let them scrutinise every letter.
I love you.
But as soon as he sees those words, he knows he can't. Instead, he starts at the top and reads through the tears.
