argh.....that Sean. He's a real piece of work. Makes me angry - guess that's the point!! I don't think he's the stalker though. I think he is after Hailey's inheritance....his own self interest for sure. Tell me you are writing him out of the story, please. :)
Can't make any promises but he'll take a bit of time to lick his wounds. When I was writing this part I felt the story just beginning to gather real momentum. Hailey's burying more than her mother and her aunts are very good at burying things :)
I kind of gathered that too. She sounds like many of us — we all have stuff that we don't acknowledge. Hailey is a great character. You've fleshed her out very well. I also like her friend Nan.
love Nan...well, like her a lot :)
