Hello Maxie.

unless she wanted to come into direct conflict with him – though, of course, Jenna sometimes thought she was, always had been, in direct conflict with him – and that he knew it, as well as she did.
That line made me wonder if maybe she isn't as far gone as I was afraid of. Into the darkness, I mean. Whenever there is doubt, in cicumstances like this, than there is hope. But what of his knowledge of it also?
I love how defiant Jenny is. She makes everything work for her. Even her mistakes.

She looked away and, for lack of anything better, down, at her arm. That was quite a mistake, she realized the very moment she had made it. For all her bravery – real or perceived – she was not a heartless person.
..........many good things in between then and now.....

I love it!

I love your brilliance Maxie! This line, ^ didn't need to be added to the story to make it any better, but, the strength you give your Jenna by making it is fabulous.

I'm sorry, but, isn't it funny how blind he is to his own pride! We see through each time he is thwarted by Harry, his surprise and anger over his defeat, and yet he never learns from it. Which, indeed was his downfall as he so adequately just mentioned.

She decided, right there, right then, that perhaps she was capable of hate, after all.
A perfect line to end your chapter. I love your writing Maxie. Each time I finish reading anything you write, I sit back and shake my head in wonder thinking, "How does she do it?"
Great chapter Maxie! Much love to you Maxie. I'll be watching for your next notice.
