Hello Elisabeth and Nancy. I should probably wait a couple of days, since I know I've got more readers who usually respond. (Michael? Green chocolate?)
But I'm bored, so I figure I'll respond to you two right now. If I get anyone else in the next few deys, I can come back.
Elisabeth - Glad you're still reading, but I know your busy with Nano.
Nancy- Thank you for the comments.
Since you guys said basically the same thing, I'll respond to both at the same time.
I can see why you think Larry is changing his mind too quickly, especially given his passionate speech in chapter 10, but I will remind you that he hasn't exactly CHANGED his mind yet. He's just thinking about it. And that's all I should say on that.
And I will agree that Kiley IS wearing her heart on her sleeve when it comes to Superwoman around Larry. This does seem odd when I've written her as someone who tends to control her emotions. (Not blowing up at Aronld, the Superwoman "stoic face", she doesn't usually cry, etc.)
But I think Larry tends to bring out more of her emotions to the surface, without her realizing it. Remember it the beginning when she blew up at the cashier because he wasn't Larry? And of course she has strong emotions about Superwoman and the rest of her family, so their going to come out even more readily.
