Page 3 of 11

Author commentary

Veronica: This chapter was originally written as a side story that I wouldn’t publish online. In the original sketch, this page is where the story began. After deciding I had a good idea going and wanted to make it canonical, I added the two previous pages to show how the argument started and why.

People think Mike’s become more of a jerk, but what kind of jerk deals with the same awkwardness since the age of five? Someone with the patience of a GOD.

I know how Mike feels and I’ve seen this coming from miles away and I was waiting for Mike to finally snap. Lucy should not have tried to pick a fight with Mike.
