How I felt after publishing 5 chapters in one day: “AND I WORK LIKE A DOG, DAY AND NIGHT LIVING OFF OF COFFEE FROM A POT NONE OF YOU WANNA TOUCH!” 
          	
          	I’m just joking (or am I?) Aaaanyways, I just want to point out the importance of the author note I left on part II, so please do not skip it. 
          	
          	Thank you!

I remember the first version of this story and idk how long it’s been but I still remember the cabin scene and where we left off, but I’m glad you came back and rewrote it with the same plot and will continue to read and support.

Omg YES, that was like 2 years ago! I’m so glad you remember and grateful you’re still here. And don’t worry I have in mind scenes similar to the cabin scene that won’t disappoint. 
            Thank youuu <3

Chapter 15 is up. ;) ;) I'm just gonna put the content advisory notice here: This chapter is spicy, so if you don't like that, you can skip starting from mid chap. to the end. However, if you do like smut, then enjoy ya filthy animal.  
          
          *Note: Updates will be every Saturday, and if I can update sooner than that, I will.
          
          Enjoy reading!

Chapter 12 is up. It's Friday, and I updated as promised!! 
          
          There's something else I want to rant about. Lately, I have noticed some readers do not like how lengthy my chapters can get. Please understand that this is a preference. If you are a reader that hates long chapters, there are other who don't like short ones. 
          
          I update once or twice a week, and I ensure the chapter I upload is relatively long, so you read it over the course of the week till I update again. Additionally, Play Pretend has an eventful plotline and each chapter serves a purpose and paves the way for the next, if I rush it, it will not be good.
          
          And lastly, I'm open for any Q & As, discussions, feedback and constructive criticism as long as you're mindful and polite. 
          
          Thank you.

@HenryCavillwhore  the development is really good. Charachter wise, i feel that now Lydia's character has more depth she was good previously also, but the way you can see her growth in this is amazing. Also, for Theo, it is good seeing his pov and the way he so genuinely cares about everything. He was a gentleman in the last draft, too, but i feel like he has more empathy now. correct me if I'm wrong, tho. Although i miss their sassy sides. The events are interesting now because I wanna know the whole back story of Sean and Lydia's mother. And I wanna know what's the deal with Darryl like is he a nice guy here because previously he was not. The pacing as i previously said is good i feel the events are happening at the right time and its transition in each chapter is also smooth if i ever feel like everything happened way too fast I'll surely point that out. From the past draft, will we see Theo boxing?? And also two or three scenes that I might like is first the presphone scene, second the ski trip i felt like I'm seeing that ski trip theo in this chapter. I don't remember the draft in detail, but there are a few parts here and there that i liked.

@hoeemee I hope you had fun when you read it! 
            So if you don’t mind me asking… how do you feel about the developments in this draft? Like characters wise, monologue, dialogue, events and pacing? Is there anything you dislike? Or anything specific from the past draft that you wish to be added in this one? Your opinion matters to me and I ‘d love to hear it.

For those who are currently reading/ have read some of the chapters I’ve uploaded, know that I edited the AN and chapters 1, 2 and 9. 
          
          I’d highly recommend you view these edits as they are slight but relevant to the storyline so I announced this just to avoid any confusion in the future, but if you’re too lazy to reread (I get it, I’m a procrastinator too) here are the things I edited: 
          
          - I aged up the characters, so now Lydia is 22 and Theo is 28. 
          - Lydia traveled to NYC for her masters not as an undergraduate student. 
          - I added more banter to their first meeting. (Because why not?) 
          - Lydia used to live in California not in Washington DC. 
          - as for chapter 9, I’m not telling what I edited in it, you’ll find out sooner or later though. 
          
          Thank you for coming to my ted talk XD

@hoeemee LMAO me too frr. As for theo being 28, I like a liiiiittle age gap and because it feels more realistic as not only did he get his masters but also his freakin’ PHD, so I feel like 26 is a great age but too young for a phd holder yk.

Chapter 10 is UP!!! Out of all the chapters I've written till now, this is my favorite chapter, I hope you have fun reading it as much as I had fun writing it. And since this chapter is seriously long (11K words/ 45 pages) I will update next week on Friday. Enjoy! and I'd love it if you give me feedback after you're done... your opinion matters. Take care <3
