I'm so glad that you updated! Oh gosh, where to begin. I'm dying to know what was going through James's mind when he saw her scars. I really love reading his point of view. It's interesting to know how other people see her because her own self-view is so warped. I'm a bit curious though, she said he was judging her when they first met, and he even admitted it. But then he said he thought she was attractive. So what was he thinking when they first met; how was he judging her appearence? And Jordan is an ass. I'm glad that James was upset by the way he treated her. James doesn't seem as depressed as she seemed to think he was at the end of the last chapter. Lonely and out of place but he seems stable. I'm dying to know who this mystery abusive asshole is. And I'm very curious to see what the next steps are in their hopefully impending friendship. Please update soon! I'm really into this story! Oh and I had to look up timorous! I mean, I connected it to timid but I had to check just to be sure because I've never heard it before. I LOVE when authors use words that I don't know! So thank you! :)
