This is a wonderful story, perfectly calibrated to the very end. It seems the protagonist is not emotionally sound, or she would not be in the position she finds herself.
Thank you for sharing this story with the Ink Well community. We remind you to please engage with other writers. The expectation is that for every story published, the author will make comments on two stories of fellow writers.
Thank you, @ubani1 for you positive presence in the community.
