Thank you for giving us our life back.

We’re finally safe.

A real, warm smile spread across my face, and I typed back the truest thing I know, the thing I have learned to say to every woman who tries to hand me the credit for her own rescue. You gave yourself your life back, Sarah.

I just did the math.

Enjoy the new house.

Because that is all I ever really do, for any of them, and it is all I did for myself.

I do the math.
