He used words like mutual, consensual, enthusiastic.

And those were actually words that you yourself used at certain points throughout the years before you came to understand.

When did your understanding of what happened start to shift?

In the aftermath of a sexual assault, yes.

I want to get back to the language thing a little bit because I think it's just really important.

You spend a lot of time on it in the book.

And I bring up what Matt said happened because he continually refers to it as an affair.

For some time, you talked about it as an affair.

But when you read the story from your point of view...

It wasn't even transactional.

There was nothing romantic about it.

There wasn't even anything.

It didn't even read like a hookup where there are two people who mutually agree.

We're going to just meet and have this, you know, this liaison that we have.

You talked about the difference between consent and agreement.

And can you explain that distinction?

Because I think it's at the heart of why these cases are so confusing to people.

You talk about this in the book, too.

Rumors of other, quote unquote, affairs.

You do work there when you're out on assignment.
