This work has reached the exceptional level

I'm running so far behind on reviews that I doubt I'll get everything read before midnight tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that I appreciate your post any less. It's always a pleasure, my dear. Thanks for sharing.

    You're a sweetheart. I am honored that you found time to read this chapter (you aren't too far behind) and blessed that I earned one of those precious stars. I never doubt that your messages are anything less than special.

    Smiles and happy reading...LOL
    Hugs, Carol

I hope Audrey isn't thinking of pressing charges against Dion now. I'm glad Jackson overheard her talking about the insurance. He can probably advise her about what needs to be done. Another interesting chapter. Carol

    The difficult times facing her with her job, the house, and Bobby's death overwhelmed Audrey...not to mention Gabby's situation. I think when she calms down she will think things through better. I hope so for Jackson's sake.

This is another excellent chapter. You are moving the story along nicely. I do not see any room for improvement. I look forward to the next chapter. Have a blessed day.

I will be really angry if they stitch Dion up, he's the only real innocent one in this awful ordeal. Anyway, they can tell that there are no drugs in Doins body, so they can't accuse him. They just need Bobby's passenger to remember what happened That Jason has to own up to him being the father. A DNA test will be able to prove it. Okay, off I go again. :)) Sandra xx

    Yes, the lab tests will prove he hasn't done drugs...they could say he was dealing, but I don't think that will happen. Judy can clear him as soon as she remembers. Jason is a rich kid that thinks most things can be swept under the rug... but this time it's a baby.

Oh Carol. You just won't let me relax and think something is going to work out right. You keep tightening the screws and thickening the plot. What a weasel Jason is. And Audrey, desperate for money, will do whatever it takes to get money to save herself. Every chapter is a brilliant study in human nature.

    Maybe when given the choice of Jackson or money, her stress and anxiety will help her make the correct choice. We can hope! As for Jason, he's a lost cause... tunnel vision and parents who have taught him only one goal counts.

    Smiles, Carol

Webs are being weaved and threads are being untangled. I see working at cross purposes here!
The ending of this chapter had the real feel of a soap opera to it. Your story does a great job with character development. There is depth to it, not just superficial.


intoxication might be mute if it were proven (moot)

To be honest, Audrey sounds as though she is just about as scheming as her brother, and she's not going to let truth stand in her way when she needs money. She doesn't deserve Jackson. I am glad that Dion has the coach willing to stand up for his character.

    They came from a rough background and Audrey has tried to better herself, but she's overwhelmed and she tends to fall back on bad habits. Hopefully, she will come to her senses before she loses Jackson.

Audrey is desperate, but she will be making a huge mistake in trying to prove Dion caused the wreck so she can sue for money. The coach will certainly defend Dion, but Jason is too much of a coward to tell the truth about the baby.

    Jason was groomed to be a football star...the center of attention. Only after it's too late will he learn what the best things in life really are. And Audrey, a product of a poor upbringing, will hopefully overcome her fears and be the person she has struggled to be before she loses Jackson.

I see where you're going with this. I know desperation causes people to do some pretty shady things.

Very smart having Audrey call a friend who had more than "general" knowledge and additionally can hook her up with an attorney if liability means a big payday...

It makes sense she'd be very worried about "what happens now."

Poor Dion. Audrey is really going to want drug charges to stick!

Poor Audrey...What did Jackson hear?

What a good chapter!

    Thank you for jumping in there and rattling my cage. I didn't feel right when I wrote it, but I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong. Of course, you did! Kudos to you!

    I rewrote the ending with Audrey talking to a girlfriend (paralegal - retired). Also, I googled the intoxication part and it did say if it was proven the driver on drugs was responsible for the crash, he would be responsible for vehicular manslaughter. Depending on the lawyers and the insurance companies, the other driver (regardless of his intoxication) could be exempt from the accident, though he would still be ticketed for driving while under the influence.

    Here's hoping that this makes more sense. Thanks again..
    Let me know your thoughts.... Smiles, Carol..

It's getting better with each chapter. I have faith that you will save Dion in the end. I'm so glad you are such a fast writer so I don't have to wait days for the next chapter. Excellent writing.

    Smiles to you, April. I sure as heck hope I save the young man. There's too few of his kind around these days.
