Dear Rory,
I just talked to my dad. I told him that I was doing really well, and I asked if I could come home for the upcoming break. I told him that I've changed. But he didn't care. He said that he didn't want me home. He said that no one did. I thought, that if I just tried hard enough, if I cared enough; that, that he would care too. But god I was so stupid. He said that I was incapable of change. That the only reason he kept me around was because he needed an heir. I was a DuGray. The only thing that makes me worth anything is the blood running through my veins. I wonder if he's right. I mean, I know that he isn't. But maybe there is some truth to it. I never did anything worthwhile. The best thing that I ever did was leave.

Love, Tristen
