Nina The clock on the nightstand shows two p.m. I can’t stay locked in the room the whole day, I know that. But still, I can’t make myself go out there and face Roman after the episode from this morning. He probably thinks I’m crazy. God, even after two years, I’m still f****d up in the head. It was getting better. I came to a point where I was able to be in the company of huge men without freaking out. I could even hold a normal conversation, as long as they didn’t touch me. Yes, most people, especially men, are taller than me. But most of them don’t trigger a panic attack. I only react to men who are as tall as Brian had been, and who have significant muscle mass. Roman looks nothing like Brian, who was blond and had a surfer look about him, but they are of similar height and build. M
