I’m still stumped by the kid not wanting his brother to find out. I thought that taboo went out with faxes and land lines? I guess some things don’t change -- and I don’t mean ageism, actually, I mean power dynamics. That’s the only thing in secrets I can see: who has the power. (Though real power resides in living free of the need for approval.) He found a hook and used it. Tant pis pour lui!
Thank you so much for publishing this, Sari!
My pleasure, Catherine. <3

Beautifully written! Thank you!
Thank you Carolita! And I agree about the power dynamics. Also, yes, that taboo is still around!
Interesting thoughts on power, Carolita. Yes.
Delightful
Thank you!
Congratulations! Looking forward to reading on!!
Thank you Emilie!
Just wanted to point out typo at 'Jona was nervous,' - the 'h' is missing from his name. And I can totally relate to this story...
Good catch. Thank you. I've fixed it.
Thanks for fixing Sari!
