Shocking! This makes me want to know more about why this happened when they appear to be a happy couple.

I wrote this as 15 minute exercise, so my mind was going off on different tangents while typing. I was going to make it a jealous/delusional neighbor who shot Tanya, but it ended up being Sean. Monetary gain is always a good motivator and that might be why he shot her.

I agree with Mat. This raises so many questions about the couple. I think you should add to this!

I think I might continue on with this. It originally started out as a 15 minute exercise, and I stopped promptly. Monetary gain is always a good motivator and that might be why Sean shot Tanya. :P

0_0 Didn't see that coming. You set the scene with excitement and anticipation, so when she was shot I was like :O

Love for you to continue if you have the time.

Thanks, Ash! I think I might write more because I should explore Sean's motivations. Thanks again for the feedback.
