Twelfth entry
Subject: Gift from Grey
Ana received a first edition Tess of the D'Urbervilles set from Grey today. With dread, I accessed my vessel's echoing mind space to interpret the meaning of this gift.
Jeez, Tess is so lucky! First Angel and then Alec, I wish I had two guys like that fawning over me.
Having learned by now not to trust my vessel's opinion, I subsequently absorbed the content of the book myself. It turns out to be quite an ugly story. Well-written but unsettling. Only romantic if you ignore the actions of the characters, the context and the ending.
