Man another stellar chapter! Always leaves me wanting for more. WTF is with Renee, I have no clue as to why she is the way she is. Backstory with that sometime maybe? I feel for this Bella, so much inner turmoil. Same can be said for your Roughie but he is way more complex. I look forward to finding out more on him and Josie. It does seem that they are both replacing running with what they truly want to be doing...which is eachother. It's interesting that he is reaching out to Bella the way he has been doing. Although it seems that makes him worse. During his panic it seemed that he became more anxious when she touched him, strange. This story has me all over the place with trying to figure out what is going on and why and how they have become this way. Such tension, both sexual and emotional and it is going to be epic when it explodes! Thanks for the update.
