Dana has a restless night as she reflects on the events of the last week.

So that is the end, or do we say the beginning of Dana, for now.

It's funny I was thinking about the term "a hardened woman" all the way through that. What does it mean? Why does it exist? Is it intended for shame? But also is it not true for some of us? Or even all of us? That life hardens us, our experiences harden us?

Just some thoughts.
