Okay, maybe I'm too bogged down in the nit-noid details of revising my book to be abstract, but this @Gypsy / @Coach colloquy is going to require some elaboration.
So STBXMRSSP is appreciative, is willing to express that appreciation twice, recognizes that the act was outside the purview of my obligations, suggests that it's harder for her to carry-on with her course-of-action when I'm not "that monster," and this is bad because...?
The "tentacles" thing and the crocodile thing is eluding me. Again, maybe it's checking footnotes and dates and the like, but totalmente no comprendo.
