I absolutely love this chapter. Those kinds of things happen in real life everyday and to be able to describe it all the way you did is phenomenal! All the love and romance and alcohol just relates to people everyday. This chapter described everyday life for some and I just love the way it is set up and plays out. A secret romance that hasn't gone really far yet and a marriage that won't go as planned. I love it!!

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Oh boy I was thinking "Oh no" the whole time when she got back to her room. That mum is whack job, I wanted to strangle her bloody neck...oops ok fiction....I must ease up on my chocolate and wine consumption...
Great chapter, and filled with a great ability to penn the fear that Lisa feels with Fiona.
Didn't see anything needing looked at.
I found it held my attention and filled me with anger as I really sensed the reaction between Lisa and Fiona was volatile and ready to blow...
Excellent work, as always a great write from one of the best.Can we put some jaggy nettles all over Fiona's bed....yes that would be a nice idea indeed ..:) LOL
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, I think there are going to be a few people who can identify with this chapter.

I had such a similar situation! My aunt whispered in my ear, just before I walked down the isle, "last chance to change your mind." I really felt the pressure of plans already made. Sometimes you just want to find a way out of a bad family life. The pain of divorce was even more intense. It left me feeling completely useless. My second marriage worked out much better, 27 years later, I can say that;) We children of narcissistic parents know how to appease the monster, right? Glad she didn't get hurt this time. Your work is so true to life! Give yourself and warm pat on the back:) Love, Lisa

Oh boy, do I think your going to enjoy (empathise) with the next chapter! They say that fact is stranger than fiction, and I mean to prove it because everything has been written from memory...
