This has got me completely hooked! Great chapter!
I keep on wondering why you wrote this from Blake's POV when you can tell there must be just as many things bothering Haze. The 'mask' he keeps putting on, how did it start, who else is he fully comfortable around. Writing it from Blake's perspective does tend to make Haze he mystery but there's so much of Blake left unexplored as well. So many mysteries are aggravating but keep me coming back for more, characters introduced but then not fully explained like Anyta mentioned, alos, totally agree with her, one-and-one-eighth steps forward, one step back.
