[It's probably better that he doesn't. He knows Sam, knows her well enough to know that it's the type of thing that would make her angry. More angry? She's never really been the quiet type when it comes to her opinions.]

I decided not to go back. If they're that ashamed of me, they can pretend I don't exist, and I'll do the same. My brother's always been the golden child, anyway.

[That's decisive. And pretty final, really.]

Okay. Yeah. I'm not back at university yet. I figured I'd go back in the summer or the fall, maybe. I want to make sure I do well in classes and all. So yeah, I can swing by the park some afternoon and look for you. We can do lunch or something. My treat.

[Not that it wouldn't be anyway, but Sam has no idea of what his situation is, right now.]
