The grandmother's phone call overheard in the car is the best scene in this. The road turning liquid, the buried-alive feeling staying in the car after the call ends. And then the mother using it not as sympathy but as ammunition. That pivot is so precise it hurts. Really glad I followed the link from your update post.
Really liked this story; I'm a huge fan of your novels and it was awesome to read a short piece from you. I thought you captured the complexities of hookup/cruising apps really well. Laure was a great character and I found the ending very well done. Thank you for the read!
Let’s goooo 👏🏻👏🏻

I love Hamilton's recounting of sex work anecdotes.
Absolutely adore how Laure is written. The argument between her and her mother and the grandmomma's small comments capture the experience so cleanly!
