Thank you! I do hope the SFSU writing program staff agree with you :)

I'm glad to hear that I made Rachel seem human. Her first incarnation had her being to 'nice' about the whole thing, because I was so afraid of making her the evil shrew who drove her bf into the arms of a man, so it's wonderful to hear I reined that in.

I think that what readers bring to stories is one of my favourite things about fiction. and I wanted to tell this as balanced as possible so that people could choose for themselves who they felt more sympathy for. I didn't want to guide them. I posted Nate's part first partly because I didn't want people to have all their sympathy for the 'wounded' party.
