I loved the dialogue in this, Robert. Powerful, full of tension, I could feel the lingering emotions. Very well done.
These situations are such heavy moments in people lives. We want to blame something, anything - someone - for what's happening. So everything is a trigger. And this is captured perfectly in this chapter.
Times like these are tinder kegs of emotion. Stuff we’ve buried deep bubbles back up as we try to make sense of everything falling apart around us. You’re clutching the past, the present’s shifting under your feet, and the future feels like it’s slipping through your hands.
I had to write this one. It’s complicated—for all of us. I wanted to remind people it’s okay to feel everything: moments of joy, mountains of sadness and pain, and heaps of confusion. They’re all valid. We shouldn't numb ourselves or sleepwalk through any of it.
Last week, we lingered in memory. This week, we hit a nerve.
Siblings don’t always fight about what they say—they fight about what they’ve never been able to say. In this chapter, David and Rachel finally clash. But beneath the sharp words and tightened jaws is something quieter: grief trying to find its shape.
This chapter isn’t loud. It just doesn’t let go.
Read or listen now—and if it stays with you, feel free to share it.

Your story is important. Thank you for sharing.
Once again, you've captured the moment, Robert.
Thanks, Mary. That means a lot to me.
Thanks, Anne-Marie.
