Then cam putting everything back in order. So I was here till after 2:30...and by that point I wasn't in the mood to go anywhere.
A repeat job popped up in Newport, so that took my attention. And I tried doing some promo work on my new FB page. I also began feeling like working on part 3 of Blood Angel, where Léonidès turns Franz into a vampire...and comes to regret it.
This part would link to what I've already written about him tracking down his sister, Gabrielle, in Korea and asking her to take Franz off his hands in exchange for Dmitriy, her gay BA companion. She agrees...then, of course, betrays him because it suits her.
But as I was pulling everything together, Simon whispered back into my thoughts. Not really apologetic but acknowledging he'd gone a bit crazy and understanding I want a more thoughtful piece. Not the chaos and hatefulness he was revealing, from his past. I mean, that can be there, but not in such a way that it takes over and becomes just about him and Doyle.
So now I'm not sure what to do. Simon wants to tell me a moment when he's in his hotel, the night before the trial, and it's raining hard. And he likes that. Loves the rain. Lets him think about what's going to happen...and reveals he expects to be found guilty, even though he can show reasonable doubt.
That afternoon, he'd contacted a lawyer about handling his appeal, if that happens. Outlined his defense strategy, which raises questions about Paley's credibility, and the lawyer was sure he'd get off. But he knows he won't. And he's thinking about his situation and his life and how he's come to this point.
So now I'm rethinking my plan to chuck The People v. Simon Harper...dammit...
