" Carter Bishop was sixteen the day she died with the doe in the woods."
This is such a poignant line. I feel so sorry for her having to go through with that when she really didn't want to. From what you've written, her parents were very overbearing and don't seem to listen to poor Carter at all. It's not surprising she was so taken with Seth. He comes across very laid back and care free, someone like that would have been a breath of fresh air for her.
It's touching that he wants to look after her, but he shouldn't have given her the drugs in the first place, haha.
Your descriptions are wonderful, no flowery language in sight, very easy to imagine the scene unfolding.
Excited to read more!
I'm curious as to what they're going to do now that they're homeless? I loved the part where she's about to shop lift, and changes her mind because the cashier had offered to pay for her groceries. It's another look into Carter's head, and gives you a better understanding of who she is as a person, and where the line between good and bad lies with her. Agh can't wait to read more! I saw the notification that you'd updated while I was in town and read it first thing when I got back. Awesome work!
