Florida State Prison, January 2011 Dear Ava, What have you done? What on earth were you thinking? How dare you take it upon yourself to contact my parents. You don’t know what you’ve done, and you’ve no idea of the mess and the heartache that you’ll cause. You coolly dropped your bombshell and then calmly went on to describe the weather outside. I can’t believe that you could be so heartless, so reckless or so stupid. You’ve meddled in something that was none of your business Ava, and I will never be able to forgive you for this. I thought that I could trust you, you promised me confidentiality, but now you have broken that promise; how can I trust you now? Didn’t you stop and think, just for one moment that I might have a good reason for not wanting my Mom and Dad in my life? Didn’t it
