Chapter 7

On the other hand, I want to be the one who treats you with respect and sees you for more than just a sex object. Perhaps, this horrible virus is a blessing in a weird way. I must take it slower. I want you to feel safe. I want you to feel kindness, and I want you to feel able to trust me.

If it’s all right with you, I’d like to talk to you more about that movie, but perhaps we can wait until we know each other better. For now, I just want to help. I’d like to order a tripod and a phone clamp so you can make a cleaner video for the Internet. Maybe if I help you reach a place where you don’t need someone to own you, you’ll feel like you can let someone get closer?

I’ll never hurt you.
