When it happened, I never believed we could go back. The bruises healed quickly but it took weeks for me not to flinch at your touch; months to return your embrace. There was no discussion. Just fear one day; normalcy the next.

I had to google your title because I’m slow. ha ha It is so fitting to your piece! Sad and truth for so many. Lovely, Arden!
I randomly stumbled across it while doing a little research! You’re definitely not slow! 🙂
I loved this *before* I Googled the title (no bonus shot for me, eh?) but with the title – even better! Fantastic gargleblaster, Arden, really stellar.
Thanks Christine! That always means a lot coming from the gargle master 🙂

This made me take a deep breath. So sad, but also a sad reality.

Very cool title. Very painful post.
Thanks Kymm! It’s a tough subject to write about.
Great title, painful story.
I just got the same comment! It’s a tough subject, for sure.
Well, I did not google the title (I used bing). It won’t stop with once though. They never do.
I neglected to tell you how much I liked this piece and how sorry I am that you had to write it. Nicely done though, as always.
Thank you Thom!
Hah (regarding Bing)! I know Thom. It’s a sad truth for many. Thanks for reading!
A powerful piece of writing. Well done.

Naturally, I also became curious about the title and looked it up. Good stuff!

Once that trust is broken, it is hard to get back. Good use of the prompt!
Thank you Tina!
