Safety: Safe with Exceptions

• No cheating
• No OW/OM
- Hero mentions possible OW in his POV
- Hero is haunted by his deceased wife; she was mentally unwell, and he cheated on her
- Hero, in his POV, recounts past OW (most were mothers of classmates when he was in high school)

• Does have the Heroes pushing away
• Does have a brief separation between the Hero and Heroine


Possible Triggers:

• Heroine was a child bride (16) and a member of a cult (off-page & memories)
• The Heroine's first lover was brutally beaten right after they had sex (and because they had sex) (off-page & memories)
• Allusion to drug addiction (on-page)
• Attempted rape (on-page)
• Allusion to past rape and abuse of a family member(s) (on-page & flashbacks)
• Statutory rape: Hero lost his virginity to a classmate's mother ... when he was 14. The Hero doesn't think anything of it–he was proud then, and dismissive about it now. (off-page & memories)


Ending:

• HFN
