Title: Chapter 15: Moving Forward
Wow, this was certainly a bombshell of a chapter but one that was necessary. I wonder if Elizabeth is going to try to woo him. I know she's more of a mother figure, however you commented earlier that she finds him attractive. Plus she's a master manipulator when she sees potential for a greater good and the circumstances are right. Perhaps in this case she believes Brian is better off with her, and when Allie took things too far she manipulated her out so she could swoop in.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I agree, I think this was something that needed to happen.
As for Elizabeth, I'd say that she definitely views Brian as more of a surrogate son than a romantic interest. That's not to say she isn't attracted to him at all, but she's more concerned with giving him the type of love that he was cheated out of with his actual mother. Her flirty moments were meant to be teasing (equally directed at Brian and Allison). That isn't to say that she didn't engineer this situation for her own goals, though! She's like an overprotective mother, and she felt like Brian was getting hurt because of his relationship with Allison. That's not necessarily true, of course, but that's her thought process. Anyway, I hope you enjoy how it progresses!
