Dev, I really need to talk to you. As soon as possible. I know it has been a while since we last spoke but I promise you that this time I have my stuff together. I'm not going to relapse again. No more drugs, no more alcohol.

I got home yesterday, I'm staying with my mother in Long Island for a couple of weeks. I realized that Father's Day is tomorrow. Happy early Father's Day. I hope the kids have a special day planned for you. I should have probably started this email with that. I apologize. I've never been very politically correct though, right?

This last rehab stint really did the trick. Thank you for setting me up in such a nice place. I do appreciate it. I know that you and I have a deep and dark history. Lots of fighting, name calling, backstabbing, etc. We've somehow kept each other in our lives though throughout the years. That has to mean something, right? I'm asking you to remember the good times that we had when I ask you this. Remember that I was once your wife, I mothered your first child, and at one point we did love each other. Or, we pretended to love each other. It was something.

To get down to the point of this email though... I burned through all of the money that you gave me and I am desperate. I just need something to get me started and to get me back on my feet. My mother gave me a little but it isn't enough to get a place again and some new clothes for interviews. I wouldn't be asking you if I weren't desperate, Dev. You know the lifestyle that I'm used to living. Please, give it some thought and get back to me. I'll try to call you again tomorrow.

Tell Lennon that I said hello and that I love him. I can just imagine how big he is right now. I'd love to see him once I'm back on my feet.

Hello, Mr. Beckman!

Thank you again for using our agency in order to plan your perfect vacation!

I was able to take care of everything for you in regards to your trip to Anaheim, California. Your hotel room is booked, along with your flight, rental car, and 3-Day Disneyland passes. All of this is included in the package deal that we spoke about. The Disneyland hotel offered a lovely deal that includes discounted park tickets and two of the days you'll be there you will be able to get into the parks an hour earlier than everyone else. Attached to this email is a PDF with all of the information that you will need. Flight times and the like.

If there is anything else that I can help you with Mr. Beckman please don't hesitate to call or email me so I may take care of that for you. Enjoy your family vacation!

-- Diana Shaw, Travel Agent

I will hold down the fort.

Enjoy your vacation, you deserve it. Just enjoy yourself and don't worry about anything here. I'll take care of it all. There are a couple of meetings that you had next week but they aren't anything that I can't take care of or reschedule. I can always meet you at the studio so you aren't driving all over the place to drop things off with me. We'll figure it out. I'll call you around one-ish tomorrow to meet up.

And since you so kindly offered, can you bring me back a sweatshirt or something? It isn't going to stay hot here for long and a sweatshirt is always necessary for New York. Maybe a cool magnet too. You know I collect those. I know I'm weird. See you when you get back Dev and just try to enjoy yourself!

Derek,

Normally I would just text something like this to you but I'm too lazy to find my phone and type it all out.

I need to get out of the city for a little while so I need you to hold down the galleries while I'm gone. I'm taking the kids to California to celebrate summer and all of that joyful stuff. We're doing Disneyland so if you want anything, let me know. I'm going to have any of my work related emails forwarded to you and if anything is that important, just answer for me. I trust you with any major decisions that need to be made. If anything is artwork related, just leave it for me to get back to when I can. I have a few new paintings that I'll be dropping off to you before I head out. I'll probably do that tomorrow. Hopefully. I make no promises but I'll call you.
