I like your Mommy Rook sooo much more than the bland housewife I'd imagined by default. She got character! Which is only logical - who else would marry Daddy Rook? XD
Father says nothing on the way home. If he is angry, he doesn’t show it. He never shows it.
eeek, it's awful for a child to grow up with such a parent :/
The scene with the monster under the bed, holy fuck!
Dominic wanting to redeem himself before his father (echoes both Tom's and Cutler's "Daddy" issues). Seeing a child apply the grown-up logic so meticulously and his fear being almost palpable creates a genuinely scary atmosphere, and it doesn't matter that I as a reader do know that there is no monster under the bed - I still see it)))
DOMINIC WITH A REVOLVER oh god
He would like to have one now. He wonders how hard he should hit his nose in order to induce a nosebleed.I love all the hints of the adult Dominic in this kid))) He's the opposite of innocent ( ... )

Now on top of the stopwatch, gun and pen, we can ship Dommy with a vacuum cleaner. XD
I have a thing for manipulative kids, it seems. XD Told you: he has no right to dislike vampire children. He was creepy as a human child too. XDDD
Daddy Rook is the epitome of parenting: kid takes a gun - good job, son! XD
And Rook himself is the epitome of... idk what, but thank God he doesn't have children because he'd masterfull fuck them up too. I was actually on the fence about writing the ending as it was b/c he basically breaks the kid's already traumatised psyche by telling him that the monsters might still catch up with him. But I figured that was smth Rook would do. He did say he'd done a lot of shit that would haunt him. XD
I'm so glad you liked this! <333 Thank you so much!
