Dear Tuck,

I hate that I can’t be with you tonight and that I have to be here with Theo and his parents. I think I would rather gouge my eyes out with spoons than sit through this insufferable dinner. I have to, though. My mother asked me where I was going the last time I left for Aveline, so I need to play the part in order to keep her questions at bay.

My mother’s voice interrupted my hand feverishly scratching thoughts on paper.

“Violet? Are you ready? The Martins should be here any minute. Do you have on that plaid skirt I got you? And the set of pearls from your grandmother? Come down now.” I rolled my eyes and heard her call up again. “And please put on a smile!”

I had on the stupid dress with the stupid pearl necklace and the stupid panty-hose just like my mother wanted, but there was no way in H-E-double-hockey-sticks I was putting on a smile.

I went back to writing.

I don’t fit in here.
