Epilogue

Hey Tab!

How've you been? I still can't believe that you're in Paris for three days of the holidays when we've got yearlies coming up soon. At the same time, I wish I was in your shoes rather than working my way through a stack of assessments. Of course, it helps when I'm living with a bunch of uni guys. Stephen hates it because he thinks that they're a bad influence, especially since he promised me that my home would be 'bad influence free.'

New just came today that my dad's going to be in prison for two years for assault. I know he's going to be out after that and I think, somewhere in my heart, that he might come out changed. After all, they can make him do rehab. At this point, my counsellor would ask me what I feel about this. I don't really want to think about it anymore...

And yes, in answer to your question, Aisha and Mark are back together again. Aisha keeps complaining because now that she's apologised for one thing, Mark expects her to apologise for other evil things that she does to him. Yet somehow, she does say sorry and they've been pretty happy lately. Unlike a certain couple, aka Jake and me. Guess where he is right now? Stuck up a tree because I refused to let him eat those cookies that I made with your mum's help. It's supposed to be for our three month anniversary! Anyway, he's too scared to get down, says the tree branches aren't strong enough to support his weight. Now who's scared of heights?

Tell me what you've done in Paris! Don't forget to get souvenirs for me!

Lots of Love,

Leslie

P.S. Jake's shouting to tell you that he sincerely hopes that you brought him a new pair of boxers as compensation...
