Sorry About the Kidnapping

But... can we move on?

Dear Brian,

I know I said I wanted to try and make things work, but it’s hard to be with someone who’s mad at me.

For the millionth time- I’m sorry about the kidnapping. But I’m already in jail. We’re even.

I don’t really know what your problem is.

So, I hired some guys to grab you and put you in a wet basement for a few days. Big deal.

It wasn’t like a real kidnapping from the movies.

How was I to know those guys were gonna get kind of scary? They were STRANGERS, Brian.

I hoped the experience would bring us closer. But when I confided in you- when I told you my truth, youcalled the cops on me! Your own husband. That should be illegal.

That’s the thing about you Brian. You’re not technically a criminal, but that doesn’t mean people like you.

My cellmate, Enzo, thinks I’m better off without you. He’s great.

I mean yeah, Enzo’s done things, but at least he’s passionate. And he goes after what he wants.

And guess what that is Brian? Me. And he’s not scared off by the fact that I’m a dad.

Enzo doesn’t care about kids at all.

Love, Bodie
