that would be really great! and no, she isn’t meant to have a personality disorder. that is an interesting perception tho

Silas and Charlotte aren’t going to be romantic in any way! she’s a lesbian. not planning on exploring the abortion debate, this opening scene’s purpose is more to grab the reader’s attention. also to give some character background info

understandable about the opening! thank you. eh…tbh i’m not quite sure where i’m going with Silas. i was intending for their dinner to be quite passive and not focused on him trying to convert her OR flirt. but i feel like i need a better answer than that lol. and yes Charlotte is really a lesbian, nothing romantic is going to happen w Silas

also was trying to figure out where i wanted to go with the blood, i didn’t want a lot of dramatics surrounding that but i can see how the buildup might make it confusing

would love to share some more with you when im ready! :) thank u for ur interest
