Dear Corinne,

Cassie is back at school. Her hair is hanging over her face, she's layering on the mascara so much that it looks like her eyes are rimmed with black (on top of that, they're always wet and her mascara is smudging), and above all she looks horribly miserable.

And I'm sick because I spent the whole night outside last night, laying in the melting snow. I watched the sun rise this morning, and when I went inside, every part of me was numb. I think it was better that way- I couldn't feel any of this driving pain.

Love,

Leigh
