For the next chapter. You got me hooked on the characters and story. Nice work.
...and am curious about the "bad press" that Amelia's accident received.
One of the commenters on chapter 1 asked whether Millie is the driver who killed Gina's brother Ian in one of nageren's earlier stories. It's reasonable to reach that conclusion. The timeline fits. In chapter 1 it is said that Vicky told Millie that a group of college swim team members had been run off the road a few miles up the road and on the same evening as Millie's accident; Millie was suspected of causing their accident but the forensic evidence was inconclusive. That would account for the bad press mentioned in this chapter.
Since the story takes place a year or two after the accident that killed her brother, Gina would be a teenager, maybe about 14.
This story seems like it will be telling us more about the accident.
Gina doesn't come up in this story- different city, different people. The only connection is the accident, which we really won't hear more about. Amelia's story is not so much about the accident itself as it is about how it affected her life.
I've not read beyond but it feels like he knows her past.
Superquad-- that's what I wonder. Consider this line... "In some ways, he was like a mind-reader, knowing exactly what I wanted him to do to me. " MUST READ ON!!!
You write a story with details and a line that seems so real yet it's all made up.
It allows your reader to see and feel the story and the characters as if they were real and as the story goes on thy are real in our minds bringing forth emotion and feelings.
Very good, keep it up.
