Wait do you believe that Wendy was sincere about making peace with Alvin!?

As the author, I'm gonna keep quiet on this one :)

Another good addition to a really good story.
I like this chapter. Yes, it is a little dark, but I think that’s important. It helps conveying the emotions behind it and helps understanding why Wendy became the person she is now. Well done.
Author's Response:
Thank you!
I think the tone itself is unavoidable, the past I planned for Wendy, any other way would simply not be taking it seriously. The night is darkest before the dawn.

The chapter was a little dark. I think its funny how Wendy had this terrible past with an abusive father and her new dad dying etc, and what seemed to trigger her bullying was being made fun of for her figure! OR at least thats how I interpreted what I read...
Anyway, I wonder how Alvin is gonna react to all this? He doesn't seem like the type of guy to hold a grudge but it HAS been a long, horrible relationship between the two...lets not forget the incident where Wendy almost pushed his face into the stove!
Great chapter! I'm hoping for more Cassie x Alvin interaction in the next chapter, we haven't really had those two together in a few chapters!
Author's Response:
While it does look she picked on Alvin because of a joke he made, think of it as the straw that broke the camel's back. It's about things coming together to make her snap and release something horrible.
Exactly, Alvin seems like a good person but every man has his limits. You'll have to wait and see ; )
You're right we haven't since they had dinner together but it'll come, give it time.

Refreshingly--and brilliantly--poignant. There was a one sentence where I thought you had forgotten Trixie's name after only half a paragraph! But, then, it occurred to me that "Doris" is probably Wendy's biological mom's name. In any event, thanks for updating so promptly. :-)
Author's Response:
The Doris thing was a mistake , that was Trixie's old name in my first draft. A very minor, nearly inconsequential error because while editing, I didn't like using Doris so I switched it without doing another read through. Sorry :(
Patricia's maiden name is Mathers anyway so if I had used it, that would be it.
