Welcome to Fatedmates everybody.

I'm sitting here with my friend Elizabeth,

and part of the reason I asked her to be here

is I don't have any great stories about Lothair Castle.

But something really interesting happened this summer

when Elizabeth and I were talking about

reading romance. So Elizabeth, tell me about what happened with your friend?

Sister. Your sister. Yeah, so I have three sisters and three brothers and we get

together at a for a family vacation at my dad's he lives in Tennessee and I was

reading I think I was reading, I think I was reading actually Lothair.

And my sister walked in and saw what I was reading and she said,

I see you're reading smut.

And I just didn't know how to respond because she just then like walked into the kitchen and I didn't want to be like,

hey, wait a second, no. Right no right well and one of the things about

like you and I both know this as teachers like one of the things about like a

conversation is never closed right right you a lot of us think like a

that was that opportunity but you always have an option of like revisiting a

conversation right by saying like hey you know what last week we talked about this and I keep thinking about it I want to talk about it some more or

just being prepared in case it comes up again. So then I saw you at a coffee shop and we are talking about like sort of what how do you tell like how do you counteract

Essentially if it's from another woman right?

That like message that this is just like trash right? It's mud or it's mommy

porn and this is something that and I don't I don't know that I've talked about it this
