What enchants you at the beginning of this story is what makes it the scariest at the end. New love, feelings you can’t quite explain, and red flags floating right on by, Ro is in far far over her head. She just doesn’t realize in what capacity. 

I got a little hung up on some of the vocabulary, but it’s fitting for Ro’s character. It was just hard to parse if there weren’t context clues.
