I find a punch in the face works wonders to teach invasive others what unwanted physical contact feels like. Too bad it’s more likely to get you into trouble than to help you.
And once you lose your necklace, you have no more necklace left to lose, so you can go about talking as much as you like because you’ve already lost the thing that anyone would want from you. Hmm. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
