You always thought when the moment came you’d know for sure.
Are you afraid?
Are you a coward?
Women like you are supposed to be brave. That’s what you used to hear. On the news, in magazine articles. Long profiles of girls who went missing and found their way home. Of women who worked under the tutelage of horrible men and found their way out. She was so brave. Like a consolation prize: Sorry we couldn’t save you, but now we’ll pretend to worship the ground you walk on.
…
You know what the world has to offer to people like you. The best you can hope for: Him, alive, in an orange jumpsuit. A courthouse, chains around his wrists and ankles. Newspaper headlines telling the world what he did. It’s not quite right, and you’re not sure you want any of it. But it’s the only option, and you will have to take it.
