Thank you for reading Detoxify! This story lived in my notes and in my heart for years, and I am grateful you spent time with Avery and Elliot, their rain, their healing, and their stubborn kind of love. I wrote this with the hope that more of us learn, unlearn, and listen, especially about the experiences of trans women, chosen family, boundaries, and what it really means to love with respect. If this is not your usual genre, that's okay. Romance has many colors. My only ask is to meet stories like this with curiosity and kindness, and if it is not for you, simply move on without tearing others down. To everyone who stayed until the end, shared chapters, sent messages, and held space, maraming salamat. May we keep telling braver and kinder stories together. Happy reading, dexies! Raind
