Thanks for the comment! Oh, gosh, I think all writers are sadistic romantics. xD I know I torture my characters in such inhumane ways, I feel i should be on America's Most Wanted. Seriously, in TGL, Cleon ends up dying more times than is necessary, but it's just fun to throw him to the dogs and watch him get out of it. xD I think I'm meanest to the characters I love the most. Then they really get the chance to prove their stuff.
