Author Commentary
Hello and welcome to another installment! First off, sorry that it took so long to be made.. I have assignments to do and I need to start on huge projects that are due near the beginning of June.. so I’ve been doing about one page a day for Bittersweet.. fourteen pages, two weeks! Geddit? Well.. yeah. This also means that the next installment won’t be for a while.. so expect a bit of silence! Anyway.. onto the show!
Tess and Paulo are in lah-lah land when it comes to the prom. It’s tomorrow for them in Bittersweet time.. which’ll mean.. a long time for us. Next chapter will be the next day! Wahh!
Isn’t it terrible when you’re sometimes so distracted by something you like that you realize you have something really important due? I remember that happened to be once or twice in High School.. I assumed work wasn’t due because there was vacation or something special.. so yeah. Paulo is an upset camper. Enjoy your awkward silence.

It’s the concept that when it comes to anthropomorphic animals, striding about nude is a-okay as long as man/lady parts aren’t on display (except for when they’re wearing specific clothing, but that’s a different story). So they can go around in nothing but fur and as long as nothing’s NSFW, it’s taken as not being nekkid.

Well it looks to me for the most part, Paulo is starting to REALLY learn to play his cards right!
And the essay, not a good sign if someone’s making a big deal out of it…

PauloXLucy. I like Tess, but…
Also, why the hell is Mike trying to strangle Paulo at the end there. Was it because he was shouting loudly, or something?
