Between Me and You

The pacing of revelations kept me hooked, but I wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did it come from wanting to build suspense or character development?

I loved her honesty but also felt uneasy about some of her decisions. Am I the only one who was rooting for her while questioning her actions at the same time?

The environment felt intimate and familiar, which added to the emotional depth. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by personal experiences or an abstract idea.
