Ground State - I love you

butterflyGwen being left at Thorpe Academy reminded me so strongly of Angel's "I love you, now get out of my house."
The fact of the matter is, words aren't enough. No matter how much you say love, if you don't show it, it won't mean much to the child. Gwen certainly hasn't 'been good'.
Gwen's parents send her away because she's too dangerous to be around, because the potential for harm is too great. Because they fear her.
Gwen puts up a brave front, all the while being so lost and innocent under her bravado. And that also reminds me of Connor.

I have a fondness for the idea that he was never kidnapped, but he still has a hard life growing up, you know? Son of two vampires, all that super strength. He's as much of a freak as Gwen, and at some point in their childhood, they would meet, bond.
