Will we see Abby's friend, Leah, again, I wonder. She's supportive, that's the kind of friend we all need.

If I have one criticism about Abby it's that she seems naive for her age. Maybe there's backstory for that. If so, I'd love to see it; to understand it.

I do love a road trip story...though I wonder if this is that. The self-discovery and reliance one uncovers while traveling alone is magical and an inspiration to me when the naysayers tell me I shouldn't "do this or go there" all by myself. So, that's cool.

Gran, I don't know how I feel about her. I don't know how I feel about people like her, though we all know one or two. Relationships are not a panacea for an unhappy life. If only people would grasp that.

I enjoyed this opening chapter and the characters are interesting. More Leah, I hope, I'd like to get to know her better. Less Southern stereotyping by Abby, more getting to know the people individually. Maybe that's one of her character flaws, making assumptions! That's always good to learn and grow from. I will continue reading on, see what you got going on here.

Re-reading all of the chapters. Thinking Abby grandmother know something about this town and there form of courtship. Wonderful writing!!

A whole town full looney tunes.

I'm going back to check the summary description of this story....it's very good. I have to say however, that I really don't like that he wants her to call him 'daddy'...just creepy.  I don't like the other endearments he calls her either but that one really is 'ikky' to me. I like that she ran and most of her reaction are plausable.  It's a bit scary but I'm enjoying this story. 

Wow! What a way to end a chapter.  Very well written.  Can't wait to read the next! 

I read this all in one go! This is soooo goooood!!! Please continue. I can't wait for the next chapter! Hope you're staying safe during all this craziness. 

Loved this first chapter.  Very opening for the character and the dynamics between Abby and her grandmother is very personal.  Abby's fears of dating but now deciding to take the chance first by going on the trip and then to begin dating it wonderful.  Well done on this first chapter. 

Third test failed too😂😂

Author's Response:

Haha yep!  Thanks!

Ohhhhh....I like Ms. Seraphine! I think her and Abby will get along well and cause all sorts of mischief. She seems like a straight shooter and tell Abby what the hell is going on. Dang it, I do not like the daddy stuff, but to each there own I suppose. Please don't leave us hanging too long with the next chapter. 

Wow, it seems like there might be something there. I was kinda hoping Abby earned another lesson, but oh well. LOL! I can't wait for the next chapter, keep posting please.

Great Job!

Well .......that was hot and heavy!  

The investment I place in stalking for updates of this story is a testament to your wonderful writing style! This is dark fiction and you have posted trigger warnings throughout, so if people don't care for this type of fiction, please don't read it! Please continue your story, I also want to know about the other wives and how long this has been going on! Loving Abby and Eli!!

I'm right there conflicted with Abby. This story drums up some strong emotions tied to all different type of places. I'll continue reading because the story is interesting. I don't know if I should root for the couple and hope something healthy forms, or root for Abby's escape. Confused! LOL! I can't wait for another chapter. Please continue.
