Thank you for the update. Uh, Evangeline...where do I start? You think Nora gives good advice? Nora, you say? Nora, whose children's paternity was questioned not once, but twice. Nora, who had to explain to one of those said children, why there was a possibility that their father could very well be their uncle and vice versa. The same woman who thought it to be a great idea to replace her grieving husband's dead son...with another child...fathered by another man, and thought, "well, nothing could possibly go wrong...this plan is aces!" Sure, going to Nora for advice, sounds like a great idea...why isn't she an Agony Aunt...I don't know.

Naughty Natalie wasn't the problem in your relationship with Jughead John. He was the problem. It took one to completely destroy the relationship,  but the help of three to get it to the point that it did. Naughty Natalie more than played her part, but so did Jughead John and you to an extent. He placed her first time after time, and you let him. You should have stop fighting them a long time ago. If you were in a ring, a referee would have put a stop to that fight long since.
Cristian was simply trying to find love...like he always did, but as always with the wrong woman. His anger was understandable, not excusable, but understandable. I do think sometimes the relationship with him was not just rebounding, but also a way to stick it to Natalie, "Look Natalie...there's life after you...He can be happy without you...thanks to me." It may not be a conscious choice, but it sometimes came across as if that were the message.
Sorry about the long rant. Lol. You do write well. You're still the only writer who can get me to read a JoVan story.
Have a great week.
