Fantastic reads, as always! A quick note though – the third item is discussing a step-mom and step-son, not in-laws. Left me a little confused about whether this was a poly thing as well.
I would love it if Hollie Stevens would stick around a while longer and I’d put up money for her to go to pursue this treatment.

It might be a Canadian thing, but we call men who date bears “cubs.”
