Don’t let this end with everyone scolding him for being gun shy.
Enjoying the ride otherwise.
It’s killing me I need to know what happens next! I need to know that things work out for John and Carol!
You had two ways to play this chapter’s ending. You chose to make him reinact her error, or the classic “OMG I can’t believe I acted exactly like you did” option. I’m kinda disappointed because I was hoping you were going for the deeper adult option but that’s lost now. Yes I like the story. Yes I’m hooked thru the end. But I just feel that (if this is truly the direction the next installment provides) that these storylines are trite at best these days. Now John has to go back and get her to forgive him before the HEA occurs...why when you had a deeper, richer, character expanding option written in using Dermott instead. Yes, I’m sure he’ll be a foil in the next chapter. But still John acting like Carol was an unnecessary plot device in my opinion.
So my friends dump me and won't speak to me for 3 years , carol says it was all a mistake. Friends come back and he forgives them? Sounds legit to me
