Dear Chelsea,

I know what you must think of me now that my secret is out, and I can’t say I’m not disappointed. I bloody loved that you saw me as someone other than the bloke my entire country has deemed unworthy of love. Maybe I am, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting you as desperately as I do.

Before you toss this letter in the rubbish bin, just hear me out.

Soon, I’ll need to return home to face the critics - the harsh reminder of the man they all believe me to be, the Forever Bachelor - and you’ll continue to live out your dreams here while nannying the twins. Simon and Bridget are so very lucky to have you.

All I ask is for one night with you, one night to remove the facade we’ve exhibited for the past two weeks to mask our true feelings.

Because I want you, Chelsea Banks, more than I’ve wanted any woman in my entire life, and I dare to imagine that you might just want me too.

Even if just for one night.
