As graduating president Heather Udell walks the Red Room one last time, she reflects on the women who came before her.

Abusive sex. (Written in response to a challenge to write about bad sex.) I don't really understand why Vanna puts up with her abusive lover. It's essentially consensual. Vanna doesn't get off on it but apparently she needs it. I suppose it could be said that the man is giving her what she needs. I think it's sad. This is a portrait of such a relationship. I don't think it really explains the whys. One question I have is whether Vanna would thrive in a "normal" relationship.
