Letter of Explanation



(The handwriting is sloppy and uneven, like a child's when first learning to write.)

Dear Anelore,

I kissed Deordal (this part is scribbled out so darkly it is almost a tear in the paper)

How are you? That's stupid, you're probably worried about me. Don't be. I am okay. I needed some time to think. Something happened so I ran. I'm not going to tell you where I am because you'll look for me. I guess everyone's running away. I'll come back though. 

I am working for a young noblewoman and her House. They've implo​ emploed​ hired me as a bodyguard. It is a lot different from being in the Guard. 

I don't know when I'll come back to Bree. I really need to think and the House is giving me that chance. The night I ran away, I kissed Deordal. But now she says I have to choose but I don't know how.

I'm afraid that whoever I don't pick will do something stupid or get hurt and I don't want that to happen. Why do I have to pick?

I love you. But if you don't love me anymore I understand. I haven't been very lovable lately. I don't really love myself right now. 

Please don't think I love her more than you because I don't. Maybe I shouldn't come back I'll just cause more trouble if I do (another line crossed out until the paper ripped)

Yours,

Catilyn
