Hey Nerissa!
I'm writing you this to let you know I'm doing okay. I hope you aren't too worried about me. I wish I could have told you in person, but I ran off with a friend of mine, and I know you would have put a stop to it. He asked me if I wanted to do something crazy, and I said yes. Palace life has never served me, you know that. Please don't worry about me, and don't try to find me. I'm happy, I've met a lot of new people. I think you'd like them.
I know this sounds reckless, but for the first time, I feel alive. I've found people who accept me, who seem excited to get to know me. I feel like I'm Somebody, here. I look forward to the day when we meet again, dear sister.
Until then, know I miss you terribly, your smile, your guidance, your unwavering love. There is not a day that passes that I don't wish I could talk to you in person.
Miss you much,
Minerva
