And I'm like, I mean, is she still believing this?

Is she still feeling as though she needs to defend herself?

So they do end up actually releasing her pretty quickly.

She texts me and says, like, I'm on the way home and I have the police with me and I need to see your room.

At this point, I'm like feverishly packing.

We're home 24-7.

I'm working from home.

Like, I have meetings that day.

It is not sustainable for me to stay here in this environment.

I'm trying to get out of the house before she gets there, but I don't.

She comes in.

Surprise, surprise, the police arrive.

are not with her.

I like show her my room and then I let her know like, hey, I'm going to be leaving.

I will not be here.

My boyfriend will not be here for an indefinite period of time.

I will leave my doors open.

Please, like I want you to feel safe.

We'll connect later.

So now in the middle of a pandemic, I end up couch surfing between like friends and my boyfriend's house, even like my boyfriend's mom's house in LA, like just kind of trying to find safe spaces where I can continue working and figuring out what's going on.
