You know, not a huge amount of time has elapsed in this story, so I think you're pacing is good for how the characters are interacting and why Gerard is still being torn by feelings.
I feel something big is going to happen at the Paramour.

Thanks for bringing up the timing. Yeah, sometimes it seems like they have known each other a long time because of the way the chapters are posted but the timeline of the story is different. Gerard still having trouble admitting his feelings does make sense. He and Willow haven't known each other all that long. Oh and he is pig headed. LOL Thanks for the reviw. I always love to hear what you think.
