Several in fact. But I guess I was referring to the actual final "tab A in slot B" moment.

I appreciate all the work you put into it.<BR/><BR/>A note on the rape/first time she and Shane have sex thing - she did freak the first time they start to have sex in her apartment some time before they finally consummate at his house. I wanted to walk the line between her being wounded and her being irretrievably broken and also with him knowing this and moving forward very slowly and making sure she was with him the whole time. It's a hard line to walk and the truth is that rape survivors, especially marital rape survivors would all react differently so I tried to write it effectively but also knowing that every woman would have handled it differently, if that makes sense. <BR/><BR/>It's a good point though, and one I did wrestle with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
