Disclaimer: I have read all of the books once years ago and I have just finished reading this book for the second time today.

“There was more. Apologies, assurances, particulars . . . it ceased to make sense.

I put the letter down on the desk. I stared at the wood and the pool of light made by the lamp.

‘Don't go to him,’ she said.

Her voice was small and insignificant in the silence. But the silence was like an immense scream.

‘Don't go to him,’ she said again. The tears streaked her face like clown paint, two long streams of red coming from her eyes.

‘Get out,’ I whispered. The word trailed off and suddenly my voice swelled again. ‘Get out,’ I said. And again my voice didn't stop. It merely went on until I said the words again with shattering violence: ‘GET OUT!’” (The Vampire Lestat, 350-351).

This was when Gabrielle hid the letter informing Lestat of his father being ill and being sent to New Orleans.
I can understand why Gabrielle hid the letter from Lestat: because she wanted to spend time with him without him being so worried, but I wonder why she doesn’t want Lestat to go to his father. Is it because of the way that he treated him? I am also fascinated at seeing Lestat caring for his family in his immortality.
