1. It was pretty obvious from the original phone call that Margaret was potentially in a different headspace than their usual clients. Did they jump at the opportunity to get Ross because of who he is? Or is their policy always to believe the woman, never to investigate? Granted, DV could be hard to investigate. Looking forward to finding out the truth about Ross and the Collective's.... vetting process, or lack thereof
2. I felt Vanessa's anxiety throughout this. She was just assaulted, and she's part of the Collective, and she doesn't know their plans for Ross -- of course she would be jumpy. Even though I felt like Ross was a pretty good guy, the whole sequence in her apartment, and when he reached over to buckle her in, had me so on edge. Great job with that.
That’s the fun thing about Ross, he’s so hard to read. Is he good, or bad? Is he honest and kind, or a liar and manipulator? 🤷🏼♀️ Even when I wrote the first draft a few years ago, I couldn’t predict which way he was going to go from one moment to the next. The joys of being a pantser. Haha
WHAT A CLIFFHANGER OMG
AMAZING chapter.

Also, somehow I got a complimentary paid subscription for the week?! Lucky me
Yes! Once I discovered how to do it, I sent comps to my top people. ❤️❤️
I am a top people!
Hell yeah, you are!
I want to feel relieved that Ross might be a decent person. But the way you wrote everything so far I’m way too suspicious of him 😂
