Are you saying that she thought Aziz Ansari might assault or murder her if she said she didn’t want to have sex with him? I saw nothing in her account of the evening that indicated that possibility ever crossed her mind.

I moved here in 2000, and it was mere weeks before it was explained to me that one left one’s porch light on for Jacob, and how his disappearance was a loss of…
