Readers are pretty savvy, aren't they?
I'm glad Ethan is finally getting help, both from his therapist and Elsie. While the cold sensory technique is an effective coping mechanism for him, it's not sustainable in the long run. He has to face his demons before he can truly try to establish any kind of relationship.
(Also....if you ever need help with food descriptions let me know. "Breakfast burrito" just doesn't cut it. What was in it? What kind of cheese? How did it smell? Was it still hot? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)
