I TOOK A VOW, HAND OVER BELLY
by Nicole Gabriella Scipione
A Black woman and man have a first conversation over tea set up by their former therapist, where they pull questions from psychologist Arthur Aron’s 36 Questions That Lead to Love and internally battle if answering them honestly is worth the risk.
