    “ A love letter with ground rules! Absolutely necessary! Honesty and boundaries should not kill the beauty and romance of the moment. This is practically a modern sonnet. Rupe earns that kiss and cuddle at the end! ”

    “ Such grace and beauty in this short monologue. There is a true sense of conscious vulnerability from the speaker. WOKE and a little old- fashioned at the same time. BRAVO! ”
