I absolutely adore Didier and I really loved this little vignette. If you haven't read Curio, I definitely recommend it as well as the follow up vignettes (Coercion and Craving) to the original story that have already been released. This particular vignette is done from Didier's point of view and we really get a nice and sometimes frightening glimpse into his agoraphobia. We get to read how really debilitating it can be and how his clients just feed into the isolation. We also get to read more of how he feels about Caroly and how sometimes we play scenes in our heads of how an event should go but often doesn't. "The best laid plans of Mice and Men often go awry".If you've been following this story like I have, you'll love this vignette. It's really a turning point in Didier's life. Normally Didier is the one in charge of their curious relationship but in this story, Caroly takes the drivers seat which completely throws Didier off his game. Ultimately Didier has made his apartment and what goes on in there, the only source of control he has over his life until Caroly strips even that away.Cara McKenna is an expert at showing you the hearts and souls of unconventional modern relationships. This story will pull on your heart strings, leave you feeling empowered and clawing at the walls for the next installment.
