This is so fun! I often write romantic banter in my fiction, too. And I love the phoenix up there—naturally. Also, "I don't take men home with me" is a line that doesn't get said enough in fiction or reality.

Thank you for reading, Alicia! I just read your homeschool post and relived my own experience homeschooling my son in 1st and 2nd grade. My son sounds a lot like yours, but you are stronger than I. We had so much conflict that I gave up after two years. Thank goodness our relationship was salvaged -- it sounds like you're figuring it out gracefully, and I wish you the best!

Thank you for reading my post and sharing your story, Kate. I don't know how strong I am - maybe just stubborn. 😂 but I'm glad to hear you have a great relationship with your son!
