Obviously, I wasn't transparent enough in my writing with Chapter 1. I am re-writing the first chapter which I may release prior to the next chapter. I'll confirm that soon.
I've been re-writing chapter 1 because people don't get to the stage where Livvy's situation is all a lie which is revealed in chapter two and why she says what she says to deceive the MC and upset him. Livvy was never meant to be an LI just a friend with benefits, but people like her and wanted her to be an LI so now she is a side LI if people choose. In the re-write things will be much clearer.
Rebecca isn't an LI at all. They are just two people having a one off fling. She doesn't need the MCs approval for her thoughts. They are best friends who talk to each other about everything even stuff they don't want to hear. The rewrite changes those lines anyway. Instead the new text makes it clear Rebecca has a negative view of Rebeus.
Charlie likes to watch and listen. She is a voyeur. The object of her fantasy is always the MC, she never thinks about other men. That wasn't clear, but I have made it clear in the re-write.
Tauriel kept the MC at arms length and there is a reason for that that comes later. Still, I have re-written parts so it is apparent there is more going on there. It wasn't clear enough before.
Jacinta is only interested in using the MC. She has no romantic interest in him. That comes later.
