You are one to talk, LOL! Connor really is in a bad place, and to go through it all alone makes it that much worse.

I have an overwhelming dislike for Jack... and yep, I believe he's cut from the same cloth as your (and thewritingbug's) brother. A little shit with a sense of entitlement but no other sense whatsoever. Poor girl, though. She *does* love him, and he hurt her terribly.

So glad you like it! Thanks so much!!
