Oh my god i thought you were never going to update. Do you plan on going deeper into what hapoened or leaving it vague? Either way im excited for the next chapter!
I really like the overlap between the different times, you wrote it well! the diction was especially good in this chapter, I dunno how to explain it but it just all flows so nicely and keeps me on my edge, waiting to see how the plots forms (even if there are "cliche" aspects, as you said, they still compliment each other!!)
omggg blue rabbits lmao...never forget...that was such a weird time.
you've intrigued me now and I'm excited to see how exactly Nora ended up in this situation and how she and Patrick coincidentally ended up at the same place all those years later...
ooh I like this a lot already! I especially love the line "At 18, he knew little of girls and a lot about putting them on pedestals" because that just seems to describe Patrick in a nutshell. I can't wait to see how this relationship blossoms.
