HER CARD — QUICK REFERENCE (The Rule) QUICK BEATS 1. Settle the room on your own time. Send the signal when you're ready — not before. 2. Make him wait at the threshold. Let the silence sit. Then: "Come in." 3. Name where he kneels. Look before you speak again. 4. Have him say the terms out loud — what he waits for, what he doesn't do without you, and his stop-word, no shame attached. 5. Give permission piece by piece, on your schedule: touch, sound, pace, release. 6. Take what you want to take yourself — don't delegate the parts you enjoy. 7. Set the pace of his finish, and of your own. 8. After: blanket, his head in your lap, your hand in his hair. Stay a while. ANCHOR LINE "Come in." / "Not yet." / "Now." Say them plainly. No performance — just certainty.
