Really enjoyed reading your trilogy, Robert. In the end, Im glad you survived. Of course, Im a bit sad for Katrina. I hope she finds someone who loves her quirkiness.

Thanks, Sharon.

In writing these pieces, I was struck by how much detail had quietly stayed with me—how much was simply waiting to be noticed. It’s made me think about Katerina more than I expected. And yes, nearly a quarter-century on, there’s a warmth and a kind of tenderness in that reflection—not because I knew her deeply, but because, in her own way, she revealed how far I still had to travel toward knowing myself.
