How about a reaction where I just stand, stunned and shivering from the absolute 'rightness' of what you have written? G-d, I wish I could get into a woman's skin the way you can! Every line of her response is so true, so inevitable, so perfect I cannot ever again think of it in another way. You have shown with total clarity how a self-centered act casts its repercussions through the world of which it is a part. Extraordinary and very, very beautiful. "Every caress feel like a blow?" Your words are flawlessly chosen and placed. I bow.
