Poor Olivia. :(

That could not have been easy to go through. You wrote it wonderfully.

You did a great job with everything, in fact.

It really, really wasn't. But I think she'll be okay. The hardest part is always just telling someone.

Thank you so much for your compliments! *is blushing*

Wow...poor Olivia :( I can't believe her dad left her because she wasn't his daughter...

Again, this was amazingly written. Kudos :)

That's an interesting interpretation, but unfortunately not at all what I meant to convey. Olivia's father didn't leave her, that's just what her mother said. Would you mind telling me what parts of the story gave you the other impression?

Other than that, thank you so much for your compliments!

Honestly, I may just not be that good at picking up subtlety, so I took what Olivia was saying as the literal truth. But it's good to know that her dad really didn't leave her.

aw man, that's quite the backstory for Olivia D: I like how you revealed it in their dialogue-it felt very real

Yeah, it kind of sucked to be her for a large portion of her teenage years. I'm glad that it felt real to you, and that you liked it so much! Thank you!
