    MrBinks a powerful, beautiful write to the image. It feels as if she has given her decision a lot of thought. Who is to say it is the wrong one. That said, I really wish she wouldn’t.

    Beautifully written and impossible to feel sad for her. It doesn’t feel desperate at all. Wonderful write!
