That day still seared in your mind. Those moments set on repeat. It was only one time. A nudge transformed into a push. A push into a shove. A heavy hand on your cheek. And a lingering metallic taste. Eventually a monster laid in your bed. A monster you invited, you let in, you relied on, you love.
But,
It won’t happen again though. Right?
