From the Journal of Lorraine Ellis
May 25, 1923
It has been over a month since Jesse and every day…every day I think about him.
Crazy, I know. I only knew him for a day and yet losing him feels like I have lost a best friend. I really do not know if I will be able to get over what happened.
Father and I have been home for a few weeks now. He has been in correspondence with Wesley and will be keeping in touch throughout the coming years. He has already become a great friend. Father told me he has asked about me. He told him the truth.
Before we left Paddon Manor. Wesley gave me the book Jesse and I had gotten. He said he wanted me to read it, but I felt as if something else was going on. He had given Father a look when he told me, to which he nodded. I didn’t have the energy to ask what it was about.
But today, after not seeing Wesley for over a month, he appeared in Father’s office at the university. He still looked the same, though with dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep. He was smiling again.
It was not Father he came for, though. It was me.
So now, I have the first task of a multi-step plan – translate the Brotherhood’s book and destroy the original. For what reason, though…he has yet to share.
