You wrote another great chapter in the series and I enjoyed how you developed Rick and Astrid. I like how their relationship was developing in this chapter and how he was getting more confidence in himself with her.
There does seem to be a lot of sugar and my diabetes is complaining. The question I have is, has anyone seen the
other shoe? I really love Coaster 2's work and today we are well served...
You made no glaringly noticeable errors & I'm an english graduate. You make it sound like he's losing his confidence. Don't! He's alright, I think you are, too, for that matter. Is this supposed to be autobiographical?
Astrid is truly unique, at least to me. I don't think I've come across anyone quite like her in all of my reading on this site. The uneasiness you intoduced in this chapter leaves one up in the air, not sure what direction things are going to go. Way to go!!
That is, I agree with his questioning his reluctance!
So he didn't have to pursue and romance her - so what?
They're happy together, they're satisfying each other - isn't that enough?
Why his growing feeling of discomfort? Why wouldn’t he be excited by the prospect of her as his travel companion? Sensing physical attraction and closeness without concomitant emotional bonding. Are they just in like with each other? She seems more into the relationships than he does, and she is the Godess.
No one's talked about exclusivity yet, I'm still wondering about her myself.
with your title, her offering to be his teacher, I am worried about her real intentions. Hope they have a happy, "normal" future.
