My parents have these friends. They’re a massive family of evangelical Christians who fled to Canada from Iran in the 1970s/80s. They’re very right-wing and pro-Trump.

I wonder what they’re thinking right now.

Side note: it’s adorable and ridiculous that The Shots You Take (2025, also by RR) is basically fanfic of a specific scene from The Long Game. Reid wrote fanfic of her own fiction. I love it.
