which I am curious about 😛

Yup.

ha

If she ever finds out he oathed to her secretly I'm not sure what her reaction might be

I don't know

it might be mixed

Z does tend to run contrary

yeah, mix of :Heart: and "You naar"

yup!

"What if I betray you! Badchen!"

"What, no, I don't plan on betraying you..."

"But what if I DID?"

"Then my heart would be broken anyway. What's an oath on top of that?" 💙

Okay, in retrospect he can be a sap

they're both odd ducks

Yes. Clem worries that her boat trip will have her miss them getting into trouble again. She's tempted to lojack Earl, but that's Zara's right

hahaha

Getting between Zara and HER property

sill Golnaz

Oh Clem is very angry with Golnaz and plans on dealing with her.

She will possibly invite Zara along

Z might be very interested

Probably not good for her shoulder angel

Probably not. But they haven't had a girl's night out in awhile

true

She would assume Earl didn't need to be bothered.

Z does try to direct most of her sadistic urges on those who deserve them

Oh yes. Oh, emails and correspondence with Z's author friend. Possibly a new book is out

yay!

and wife is happy as an ex?

happi-er

still has her down days

well

beats being married to a nazi

Yup!

I think Authoress might be one of the very, very few people to have been shown Z's fan fiction

She would be honored and if asked her opinion would say "Do you want my advice, strictly from my opinion, of course?" And if told yes, only then would offer critiques. And add "So much better than my poetry phase back in junior high"

aw

Z also has poetry!

She can take advice, at least. If kindly given. Too much purple prose, obviously. leans melodramatic.

Zara does love romance novels alongside her classic lit, and it shows

She'd teach her how to 'dilute and spread the purple' a bit 😉 And encourage Zara to keep at it. Heck, if Zara gets good, she might even have a boost

IF she ever wanted to go pro

aw

Earl still doesn't get to see it

And likely doesn't know about the tall blonde painter that's become a feature

replacing the broody black-haired byronic scholar

Oh, there are Pen names

Though the authoress might advice against going too purple on those

"Raven Darke is a bit much."
