This story was both a struggle and fun to write...mostly because once again the genre was different from my usual fluff... been exploring danger lately. Lucian's character was interesting to explore, he's both a villain and a good guy, but in such a grey manner, he's hard to hate sometimes.
I had Dimitri wait because I felt it was time for him to just stop and face it, whatever comes. Running then might have meant living in the shadows again, so whatever the police wanted, he'd do it at that point, to save Talin, have a life with him...so it was more of him telling the police, yeah this was happening, I played this hand in it...and well...all I can give you is information on what I've done and who with. I've thought about the gun and the shooting, but since it's self defense, they'd have killed me first kind of defense, it would work with the investigator in charge. As for Raphael, he's naturally allergic to police...comes from his family business. I've been toying with the idea of exploring Raphael's love life...I'll see what comes out of it. For him, better to leave than even have some see him close to an investigation.
The ending felt already made when I was writing this. These two have always gravitated toward each other, so it was just a matter of removing obstacles on the outside so they could move in already...I think that was the best part of this story.
Cannd, I'm always glad for your indepth comments, I love them, thank you for taking your time to read this story of mine.
Cheers,
Sui.
