Charles swept me off my feet. He was charming, kind, loving, respectful and everything I was looking for in a man. We had to be together, but we worked in different towns. We travelled back and forth for months, and then Charles asked me…

They were thrill seekers. Well, Paul was. Mercy, not so much, but she could have been anything Paul wanted her to be. When they talk about ‘simping’ and losing ourselves in love, I suspect that it’s less about having power over the other…
Some apartments feel open before anyone checks the floor plan. You step in, and the room does not push back. The window has space around it. The bed is not fighting the wall. The floor stays visible. Other apartments feel tight straight…
