Love Letter to Mattie

Write a love letter from Ethan Frome to Mattie Silver. Use one quote from the book. Use as many specific details from the story as you can.

My dear Mattie,
I've found myself writing and re-writing, hoping to perfectly form all these restless thoughts of you into words so that you would understand. I never would've imagined myself this much in love with you. Since the day we met, you've left a beautiful image with me. When I hear your name, the image forms in my mind, and I see paradise--I see you. Do you remember that night we were alone? "[I] had put [my] arm about [you], and [you] had not resisted." And from this I realized, my love was being returned.
But how can someone so lovely bring so much passion into my soul, yet stir up so much pain in my heart at the same time? It kills me, dearest, that I am already married. It kills me, that my wife is your cousin. I don't love her. However, love is not quite the situation anymore. I'm stuck between desire and morality. Tell me, what can we do? I can't stand living without my Mattie. We're destined to be apart no matter how strong our love, and I guess there really is nothing left to do. Promise me, that even when we are thousands of miles apart, I will always stay embedded into your heart. The angelic image of you, my dear, will be carved into my soul with detail.

Sincerely and forever yours,
Ethan Frome
