Oh Francesca, I love this! And you would love my novel, Make No Mistake, because there is a scene just like this when the First Lady goes off-script. It seems you and I are on the same page 😂

I released the chapters as serial fiction here on Substack if you are interested (@juliewise.substack.com) You will laugh when you get to that part. So similar!

If only this First Lady would go off script! I look forward to reading your chapters :)

Maybe you with your poem and me with my novel are planting a seed subliminally 😁 You never know.

Haha, I thought I was the only one who noticed those eyes🤣. I wouldn’t hold my breath, too long, though, waiting for her to come to the rescue

No. I have seen her eyes;

They appear as one who only wants to escape.

Slightly soulless. Just a flicker left.

Thanks, Linda! I have my doubts but at some point women have to say ENOUGH

😆 one would hope so but perhaps she’s already been microchipped?
