I almost agree with anonymous that this chapter is too short, too rushed. But I am considering that the author's purpose of these very tight scenes is to prepare us for the following chapters without confusing overlap. That several events important to the overall story were covered. Providing key background material that would otherwise slow down the denouement barreling at us.
This series/story is very good. However, the author has a little trouble maintaining logical intertwined subplots. Psychologically, I see how Danielle is growing. The surprise is April. Her relationship with Damien requires additional, indepth development. Finally, I would like to see how fences are mended between herself and her mother. The father is a lost cause based on his professional conduct.
