Like I said before, as I was driving through Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, I had plenty of time to ponder Cassie's love and her decisions during it.
I think Cassie was altogether too attached to Xander. If she had taken time to think through their love, she might have realized that they didn't have to do anything as drastic as running away. Maybe, if she hadn't felt like she needed to be near him every moment that she could, she might have thought up a better plan that involved asking me or one of the Murrays for help.
How appropriate that Cassie's favorite colors were red and blue and that she put those colors on her blog! If you look at the background, it seems to represent Cassie's love which was surrounded by her tragedy. Very interesting...
It is sad to think that it was the Carsons' hatred for the Murrays, and the Murrays' hatred of the Carsons that killed Cassie and Xander! To think that it was the people who loved them most who indirectly killed them. Isn't that just sad?
The final portion of the story is in Post #12.
