The second sentence ... I didn't know that was coming! But like so much of your writing, I never know what's next and it's that surprise and intrigue that keeps me diving in week after week. Just beautiful Mary, well done! xx, s
Gosh, the isolation Lena was feeling, and then creating more of it with physical distance. Really tuning into her heaviness in this episode, wondering how much of it is a form of self-punishment.
"She must have been quieted by the plants, by the copper bay window gone to verdigris, by the house next door with its Victorian turret and stained glass windows—all of it on this street in the middle of the bustling city".... a moment to capture our relationship to the permanence of things

Maybe ... I hadn't actually thought that before, Kimberly, wise reader.
A beautiful chapter, Mary. I loved the conversation between Gershon and Lena.
Ah, Jeffrey, Hanging with me on this journey. Gershon, one of my favorites, the way we come to care so for a character we create ...
What a literary community we're creating here.
Indeed we are, all thanks to you!
This feels like the saddest episode yet... "She must have been quieted by the plants," Oh Mary...❣️
Yes, in a way, but realization for Robert is taking its time, I hope the way it does in real life.
