I am absolutely loving After Mari. I feel so on edge imagining what happened to her when she went home to her awful father and am so heartbroken thinking about how desperate and devastated Mari must have felt her final few weeks in the US.
If the outcome of the story is as bad as my worst-case-scenario brain has led me to believe, I don’t know how anyone could live with that kind of guilt. Knowing you had the power to do something and did nothing instead.
May I ask how many chapters we have left? I look forward to your updates and so appreciate your writing.
