[i]*waves his hands frantically*[/i] Please don't feel bad for differences in post length! Seriously! I'm just having a really good day is all. On good days, I can write a veritable book, but on others, I can barely manage a few lines. It's okay, really.

I find the mystery of her character intriguing. Getting her to open up feels like a puzzle, and Ed will have to tread carefully to avoid hitting the same pitfalls plaguing Somerset. Currently, I have her pegged for a shy girl who has had some unpleasant experiences with men. And I doubt this is the average cliche-shy, where she avoids everyone except the main love interest, who she magically opens up to - this seems like the more realistic kind, where, given an opportunity to escape, she would rather be rid of both guys and be done with the whole ordeal.

I like her.
