It appears that things are still hot in the theater even after the stage lights have been turned off for the night. Eric needs to break up with Maureen or stop getting close to Melanie. The part he is playing now is wrong and cruel to everyone.

Granted, Maureen needs to go... but he should do it in an honorable way.

I suspect that Brianna would say that the final scene proved her suspicions... I don't even want to think about what Maureen might say... or do... or commit...

It seems that Melanie's mother is anticipating more than just a working relationship between her daughter and Eric... or is that just reading too much into her actions?

Eric certainly seems to be acting interested. The should be a fun story. I look forward to reading more soon.
