It was Monday, but …
I
finally broke the silence that had created an unwanted de facto protection for someone who's been bullying me for many months now.

(I was so proud of myself and relieved that I finally did it that I teared up afterwards. Nothing's changed. Yet. But they don't realize they're being watched by someone they wouldn't want apprised of their doings…and who has the power to fix their wagon, and fix it good.) (Oh grammar! But the vernacular just works so well. See, I do know adjectives from adverbs, haha.

)
