Happy New Year, Raven!
I miss you. It’s weird ringing in the New Year without you. It’s a new year, and I hope it brings new beginnings.
I know I went too far with you. I didn’t realize how much I hurt you until you ran away. Since the first time I flew to Paris, you’ve refused to see me again, and I hated our last conversation. Can we meet up so we can talk?

Happy 18th Birthday, Raven!
I am still in Paris, and I’d like to see you.Can you come out of your apartment?
If you are still uncomfortable being alone with me, we can go to dinner with your mom.
Look, I’ve respected your wishes for six months, even though I am worried that you won’t keep your word. Can you just meet me halfway for today?

Milo,
We are family, and I understand how entwined our lives are. So, I do want to move forward from what happened. I promised to try to forgive you IF you left me alone. Yet, it’s been nothing but flowers, gifts, texts, calls, and impromptu trips to Paris. None of that resonates backing off or respecting my wishes.
I can’t be magically okay with an UNFORGIVABLE act within your approved time frame.
Please leave me alone!
