For dinner. And growled at us when we tried to take the spatula away from her.<br />

You know this is going to blow up in your face. YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. If you care<br />

about this girl, tell her who you really are. TELL HER NOW.<br />

You're lucky Mim doesn't know about this, or I swear, she'd disinherit you.<br />

Subject: My life<br />

Remember what I started to say about how just because Dad is in jail doesn't give you<br />

the right to act like my father? Well, I really mean it. It's my life, Jason, and I'd thank<br />

you to stay out of it. Besides, you're acting like I don't know I've screwed up. I have.<br />

I know I have. AND I'M GOING TO TELL HER. I just haven't found the right time yet. Just as<br />

soon as I do, I'm going to tell her. Everything. <strong>The</strong>n we'll all have a nice long laugh at this<br />

over burgers at your place, by the pool. You don't know her, but believe me, Mel has a great<br />

sense of humor, and a very warm and forgiving nature. I'm sure she'll think the whole thing is<br />

funny. Do you think anybody's using the cabin in Vermont? Because I'm thinking that might be<br />

the perfect place to tell her. You know, drive up for the weekend and tell her in front of a<br />

nice romantic fire, over a couple of glasses of wine....<br />

What do you think?<br />

Subject: What do *I* think?<br />

Oh, you want my advice? You want me to stop acting like your father, but you want my<br />

advice, *and* you want to borrow my ski cabin? You've got some nerve. That's all I have to say.<br />

But then, I suppose we've already established that. If you didn't have nerve, you<br />

wouldn't be in the mess you're finding yourself now.<br />

PS Dad isn't in jail. It's a minimum security criminal rehabilitation center. Stop<br />

making me repeat it.<br />

PPS No woman is that forgiving.
