Jeri Smith‑Ready writes about intense moments, like a kiss that feels like a sudden shock and a line that says forgiveness, not just receiving it, matters. She jokes about politics in D.C., the need to grant forgiveness, and a friend who prefers a nap over a long talk. She also mentions a song for a loved one who never heard it and declares something ‘Bad with a capital Hell No.’
