Your book was a page turner No one's going to fall asleep reading it.
I wasn't going to reply because there has been so much said by everyone, and such good things that there would be no end to a reply..but here I am, typing.
When I read what you wrote about the danger to her and potentially being life threatening, my heart just jumped. How sad that what you say could have truth to it...and one wouldn't know how much she could trust or who, as people who mean harm can hide lots, and come across very different from how they are or their intentions, and be very manipulative and tricky, I have learned.
But I think to say that she shouldn't trust others, or to say that she should be whisked away to be protected probably isn't totally the answer. She is not a bird to be kept in a cage.. she should be free. Even if that means there is more danger out there for her. She would have to be brave, and also smart.
It's maybe funny, but I imagined a woman wearing a patent black leather outfit doing karate moves learning to protect herself just so she could love and be loved by MJ...lol. Just an image that popped up while reading. Silly but I thought I'd share.
Anyways.. as an analogy to birds.. a bird in a cage may be safe and protected, but will it ever be as happy as one who can fly free? That bird flying free may have to be more cautious, but it also has so much more room to roam and get away from the dangers, and can learn how to protect herself from those dangers, but if kept in a cage, if danger came or one who cared for her was a danger...there would be very little it could do to protect itself. Um..but that isn't what I was initially going to say. Caged bird does not sing like the bird that flies free.
She would just have to be very brave, and even though she'd be aware of the dangers out there, be strong enough to not fold under the fear of them. They also both would have to believe in each other so strongly, and each other, that they could not let what others try to put in their way as a wedge to ever get between them. I think they would have to be completely open and honest towards each other so they know that the other has nothing to hide..and then it would just take time to see truth in things and each other. I guess they would know each other very well, or work hard at getting to know each other fully and completely so that they couldn't be fooled by those that would do them harm.
(I'm really sleepy..... hope I made sense)
