What a powerful and very relatable piece! I'm SO glad you wrote this and put it out into the world. Thank you.

The constant flow of trauma and misunderstandings and anger and violence we see everywhere, all the time, could perhaps be staunched by the simple realization that two people could just stop and like you said, learn to read the signs.

Following your anonymous account, and now I'm curious about your novels too! I want to read books written by someone who is willing to be this brave.
