Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. If only you know how much I truly admire and love your work as a writer. I'm constantly checking my subscriptions list to see if either of your two stories have been updated while I was at school, though I'm normally the first on you tell when things are updated. I'm honored, really.
Now, I know you were worried that this chapter would be too long, but don't let such nonsense creep into your mind. It was amazing and beautifully written and length in a story, especially on mibba, is nothing short of superb. Keep it up (: Take your time and enjoy your writing instead of viewing it as an obligation. Don't let fangirls that don't know about your personal life get to you because they're not worth it.
I love how Sam is continuously distracted while talking to his doctor, just like he had been over that weekend on that night. Your descriptive skills were amazing in this chapter and your talent most definitely shined through. They really made the beginning of this chapter seem powerful.
"...twirling his gold embossed, onyx writing pen in his fingers, something he usually did when he wanted me to talk. I bet that had cost a fortune. But then again, if you were a doctor, it would probably be pretty affordable. What might that pen feel like, resting in his fingers? Heavy, or light? Smooth, maybe. I wondered if it ever gave him a sense of power, knowing he could buy something that nice, or if the power ever flowed out onto his yellow legal pad, coating those countless notes he scrawled during our meetings."
Yes, I had to quote all of that because the comparison was amazing and mind-blowing. I wish I had your talent, Lisa, I truly do. There are many instances such as this that I should quote in this comment, but I don't want to bore you by making you re-read your writing AGAIN.
I also love how you characterize Diana. She sounds like an amazing friend, though she's a bit unusual in ways. And I like how you're slowly informing us of Paul even though we do now know who he is. There's more stuff we need to figure out. I hate how he's taking advantage of Sam though. It's statuary rape and Sam doesn't seem that willing. He said he was the prey to Paul's shark-like predator. It needs to stop and Paul needs to go far away or go in jail or Bryson needs to be a good brother and come to the rescue the second he finds out or something.
With that being said, I loved this chapter. The length isn't a bother in the least bit and I can't wait to see what is going to happen next. It's truly taking off. Keep up the amazing work, Lisa <3. You know I'm always here as a means of motivation.
