Dear Mum and Dad,
I don’t know where to start - with telling you both that I’m alive and well, perhaps? With apologizing? I probably should, shouldn’t I? And explain. I haven’t been behaving like myself lately, have I?
I am sorry, I really am. I shouldn’t have left in the middle of the night without telling you two where I was going and why, especially when you were ill, Mum. But you were getting better and there were just so many things going on and I didn’t know how to tell you - or what to tell you. I still don’t.
I guess you found my note, though, so at least you knew where I was - well roughly, at least. I did go back to Greece, and I did have my reasons for not answering the OWLs you sent to aunt Anthea as I said I would, although I don’t really want to get into the whys and reasons in a letter. I’ll explain more when I get home.
Home, right, I’m coming home, by the way. I guess I should tell you that. I’ll return to England sometime tonight, tomorrow or the day after. It depends on the weather. I’m in France now, and if the weather keeps up, I should be able to cross the channel tonight, but there has been talk of a storm. Don’t worry, I’ll fly safely and as much as I miss you and I want to see you again, I won’t take any unnecessary risks.
I want you to know that even though I left in a way I shouldn’t have, I did… learn… a lot, and I am well fine alright wiser now then when I left. I hope. I’m making little sense, aren’t I? I am, but I will explain. I do hope you’re not too angry with me, and that you haven’t worried too much about me. What am I saying, of course you have - I’m sorry. I never wanted you to worry.
Love,
Vicky
