Help me figure out how to open this link...please!

Here's Dylan's email to me:

Dear Emily,

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dylan Winters, we met in July at the first Bask University Orientation session. I doubt you remember me, you were in high demand as I recall.

Im sure you realize, just as I did, that college is our first time to truly realize who we are. We separate the lies were told as children from the truths we find in ourselves. I was lucky enough to find truth in myself from my very first days here. Others, well, they have not been so lucky. Only very rarely are we able to speak complete truth, often after long nights drinking, hence the phrase, "In vino, veritas." In wine, truth.

Have you found truth, Emily? Have you found your "Veritas?" Maybe you have, you seem comfortable in your own skin. I cannot say the same for your roommate, however.

I will tell you my hardest truth: Im in love with Meg. I realize my methods may appear crazy, but let me tell you in complete honesty Im not crazy. Indeed, I am the only one telling the truth, and I intend to show you my truth, my own personal Veritas. I only hope that you can look through this and find an answer for yourself.

Megs lies are not only hurting her, but those around her. This Nick guy is only setting himself up for a harder fall when he finds out what his own Veritas is. There will be consequences for lies, I can only hope that theyre exposed sooner rather than later. However, as I found long ago and Im sure Meg is finding out now; truth can be hard to acquire, harder to hold on to, and nearly impossible to show to others.

I find it not a little ironic that in Roman mythology Veritas was a goddess. It was believed she hid in a holy well because she was so elusive. Ive taken a drink from that well, Emily, and Im hoping you open this link and drink deeply from it, too.

Perhaps afterwards we can both fully appreciate "In Vino Veritas."

Truthfully yours,

Dylan Winters
