Chapter Four: The Keeper of the Ledger The Morning Audit Oliver Oliver Merrick lived by a schedule not because he loved it, but because the alternative was a form of drowning. At 5:30 AM, the alarm on his phone vibrated once against the mahogany nightstand. He had been awake for fifteen minutes, watching the slow bleed of dawn at the edge of the curtains. The vibration was a formality. At 5:35 AM, he was in the shower. The water was cold. He did not enjoy it. He en

i tried to find names for them that defined them. Tarquin for the above, Oliver which means Olive Tree/branch the peacekeeper, and Orel as was mentioned before, light of God. Which I felt suited his... neurodivergent nature.

Oh and no, Jacob Carter and my Jake are nothing alike... mine's more like Ned... exactly like Ned, Jake finds it amusing.

It's something I always tried to do with my Jacob. Embody my lessons to him. It's funny, there was only one time I ever lost my cool with Jake. It was in China, there was a typhoon, and he'd just waded back home through backed up sewers.... like yikes... so he comes in and heads for the bathroom without taking his shoes off. And it was stupid, I just lost it on him... It took a bit for me to realize I wasn't yelling because I was angry, I was yelling because I was worried about him out in the storm. Lots of hot chocolate, apologies, and hugs later... but he never forgot to take his shoes off again We laugh about it now, but yeah only time. Now was I a strict dad, hell yes... but yelling and cussing, no.

Indeed, Tommy is quite the character in his own right. Toad's a prince and Jacob knows it.

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER Location: Rideau Hall, Ottawa. The "Sunroom" (Converted Morning Room). Time: Early May 2023. 09:00 EST. Status: The Rebranding. Rideau Hall was no longer just a prison; it was a soundstage for a surrender it refused to call by its name. The historic Morning Room, with its east-facing windows that had once illuminated quiet breakfasts and hushed political deals, had been violated. The elegant, muted wallpaper was now backdrop to a garish invasion.

Garrett, Garrett never changes. I have such great fun writing his dialogue

Yep it's official, I love the Hickey clan! I am having FAR too much fun tonight.

I just have to say I love writing about this town. It's moments like this, where I turn around and a whole chapter of amusement and glee just appears out of nowhere... just because two books ago I wrote a throw away line about someone's job. I do, highly, recommend giving something like this a try if you ever write, it's highly rewarding.

So I've been writing out a scene as Lydia is combating the Merrick family in the country records office. Wrote a whole chapter out of complex Municipal jujitsu... form 14a sub c.... vs form 19a .... and I wrote this lovely records clerk named Janice... gave her her own little back story and a cat... And then I remembered... who... is the actual records clerk of Merrickville. I now have to... extensively rewrite Aunt Jenny in to the chapter... the Merrick's are doomed.
-
Just remember, Lydia's Dad is Clovis. And Clovis won't take kindly to a monster that close to his family. just saying, I am *still* Toying with the idea of Merrickville old boys dealing with it because it's what they do to these type of "untouchable" monsters.

Yeah I wrote off for a quote on one, and the guy was really polite and gave me a figure of between 75 and 150 K so yeah it's not going to be cheap, it's one hell of a job and will keep Finn busy quite a while.

smothered by the weight of his own ego.

Finn and Orel The more I write of this story, the more redemptive it is. Now the truth is known, things can start to change as they face it.

It's not said here, but Jason saved West by fetching Highmore. Just, before you judge our lost little Baptist lad too harshly, he did the right thing in the end.
