One whale of an imagination! Thinking of what you will write as prequel and sequel and make it into a NYC/Miami novel.

whoa… keep going! David, this is cool! Why don’t you draft the β€œbook jacket” copy to give us a bird’s eye view of the what and why of this story. I’d love to read that too. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

I'm hooked! Jeffrey's body ... Emma's view of the marriage ... the sharp conflict ... your subheads/chapter headings that lead us gently forward ... This feels expertly done, David. I am already rooting for Emma to make a clean break from Jeffrey, but maybe you'll keep this going and show me there's an alternative. Hmm. Curious, curious.

I didn’t expect fiction when I pried my eyes open this morning! Well done; I could happily have kept reading.
