The Summer Bay couple are enjoying a romantic getaway when Romeo suddenly does a disappearing act, leaving the letter behind.
Romeo, played by Luke Mitchell, is facing a tough battle after being diagnosed with skin cancer in a storyline currently airing on Australian screens.
As part of an ongoing effort to hide his illness from Indi, Romeo refuses to have any further chemotherapy for the time being - knowing that the side-effects of the treatment will be too noticeable.
However, realising he can't go on like this, Romeo leaves a letter for Indi to read after they have enjoyed a trip away.
Exact details of what the letter contains are currently being kept under wraps, but it is likely to lead to Indi finally discovering the truth about Romeo's illness.
Samara Weaving, who plays Indi, told TV Week: "It was really hard filming. You have such an attachment to your character and I was bawling my eyes out as I read it as you learn to love these characters you've played for so long.
"You just want to protect them and make sure they're happy."
The actress continued: "I was working through the scenes with Luke to make sure they are as real as possible for the audience.
"With really serious storylines, everyone wants to do it right and be as close to the truth of the matter as possible - so hopefully we did that."
Home and Away airs these scenes next week on Network Seven in Australia, and late April on Channel 5 in the UK.
