Tristan wavered for a moment. Even after the scandals, the Carringtons were still an influential family. He felt slightly intimidated. And then, he really could use some of that Carrington money. But the very next moment he realized he could never betray his profession for money.

He shook his head. "You must first make changes in your life. Sitting in this dark room will only darken your mind. You need to let the sun in. I want you to get daily fresh air and exercise. A brisk walk of at least half an hour will do. Pay attention to your diet as well. I want you to avoid heavy, rich foods. Choose simple nutritious meals instead, such as oatmeal, lighter meats and vegetables. And then most importantly, you need to get out of this house and meet other people. I promise you, not everybody's out to hurt you. Have you no friends in artistic circles? Take a trip to London or wherever feels right to you. A place where your name is unknown and people won't know about your money when you meet them. Do these things and I will give you something to make it easier on the mind. But I will not give you something just to make this dark room bearable."
