hehe, Nice touch with Woodiwiss, I can see her reading an older romance like Woodiwiss'.

Nice piece. They're such an interesting 'pairing', even though that's not what they are. Part of me wonders if she's a doll, sent to spy on him. Part of me hopes she's not and she can get through to him that he's on a fast track to getting killed.

Thanks! Yes, I see her as a Woodiwiss reader too.
I didn't suspect Mellie as a doll until they revealed Victor, but I wonder if she really is just a love-struck neighbor. I kinda feel bad for her. :3

Oh, I felt something was 'off' about her from the beginning. Right there at the door, waiting for him. She just seems too good to be true, almost perfect. Of course, that could be a red herring so we think she's a doll and she's not. We haven't seen the inside of her apartment. It could be a mess and there could be dead bodies in there LOL.

I hope she's the real deal...

Me too. I hope she's not freaky. I mean, the writers have enough going for them in these 13 episodes.

I see her as a character Joss wants us to sympathize with, maybe as someone who Paul can confide in later. [shrug]

She just wishes he’d make her world a better place

Aww, cute.

I liked this a lot.

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :3

Oh I like this. I actually like the Mellie character and find myself pulling for her to turn Paul's head a bit. I'm sure she's in for heartache or danger at some point though. Love the way you touched on her longing for him. Great job :)

Thanks! I like Mellie too. I hope she gets more screen time.
