Page 56 of Give Me a Reason

Dear Anne,

Sometimes I can’t get over how lucky I am to have you. I want to know what I did to deserve you. I rack my brain obsessively to figure out what I did so right that the cosmos sent you to me. I need to find out so I can keep doing it. I’m scared if I stop whatever it is I’m doing, I’ll lose you.

I know. Not healthy.

Then I remember, I’m not half bad myself. I’m not as smart as you, or as good as you, but I love you more than anyone else. If loving Anne were an Olympic event, I’d break the world record for the most gold medals. (Not that I’d want to compete with any douchebags for your love.)

But I know I deserve you. I’ll always deserve you, because no one else can love you as much as I do. I love you best now and forever. I win!

Forever yours,

Frederick Nam,

Olympic gold medalist
