Maybe put some heroin, meth, or opioids in the next story. Ain’t nothing more white trash than that opioid shit.
You’re right on with how since the opioid crisis that no one wants to address pain with anything that might include the occasional narcotic. There are genuine people who need them in addition to the other meds they have for options to handle their pain. Honestly that ER visit could have been avoided if they had the proper nausea and pain medication options available at 3-4 am. It’s frustrating but that’s an aside.
To even begin to read a romance one must stretch their willing suspension of disbelief a bit wider than when reading something more anchored in reality. And I’ve always made those leeway’s.
But this story demanded too much more ignorance of reality.
I certainly haven’t read all the comments here, but I came across a few that said things “happens too quickly”, referring to the romance. That was tenable.
No, the most horrific ignorance of fact was that someone could completely recover from heroin addiction in a month! Fact is, most heroin addicts never reach sobriety, settling for the grave. For those that do survive it takes years - not even months - to put their lives Vancouver on track.
I have dealt with opioid addicts (and alcoholics) both professionally and in my personal life. This story is an insult to their struggles.

Even after a betrayal, you can make a conscious decision to not allow that to damage you forever. To not let that pain make your decisions for you.

And then Derek? A man-boy who thinks that grand gestures are what's important? That buys into the tortured artist concept? And then add into that opioid painkillers? Yeah, I can totally buy Derek thinking that what he was doing was some grand show that somehow absolves him of his part in the evil that was done.

I spent parts of these two stories being mad, sad, frustrated, and eventually satisfied. This was an incredibly evocative story. Possibly one of your best.
