Most of this chapter centers around Sage. She’s still a little hard for me to write. I got into her head in the next chapter a whole lot more than I have in the past, though, and I think I finally have a good grasp on her. She’s very private, though, so it’s hard to tell.
I kind of like the idea of Sage and Hayden, while seemingly opposites, had the most “traditional” relationship out of anyone in the story. It seemed, to him, logical that he would give his serious girlfriend a promise ring, even though it is old-fashioned and so very. That’s really irrelevant and like the crappiest “behind the scenes” thing ever, but I just had to comment.
Originally, Michael was going to tell Sage who he thought would be the one to die, though I changed my mind about him saying. Seemed better to stretch it out awhile longer, since no one actually dies in this chapter.
Oh, for a random tidbit: Austin and his grandmother are a shout-out to my fave show growing up, Twin Peaks. Yeah, I know, it’s a little obscure for a reference... Anyway, remember the grandmother and grandson from both the show and the movie? No? Then you suck. Go watch it and then we’ll talk.
