My life has changed drastically since the kidnapping. I have become more wary and frightened of strangers and social events. I believe I have become paranoid. Perhaps a change of scene will do me good? I shall try it at least. I must let the staff at Shadowlocke know to prepare for my return. Paris just does not have the same appeal as it once did. It is a shame, I know. But it cannot be helped, and believe me, I've tried.
I'll need to travel light, in order to avoid suspicion or attract attention that is unwanted. For who knows? Someone's already tried it once, and who is to say it won't happen again? I certainly won't. The rest of my stuff I shall have brought to the estate later, after I have arrived and settled in once again.
