GOOD TALK
Written by Iley Jones
High school sweethearts Jiā lǐ and Erin are finally alone in a little BnB. Pure Bliss. But the cabin is presenting a problem. They’re finally faced with each other’s thoughts and ideas, and everything that was once safely secured is exposed and left raw as they begin to not only listen but finally have a Good Talk.
