About 55% of the way through this rewrite, and it's going to take one more for me to begin to be happy enough with it to consider getting feedback. Turns out there's also something of a romance moment in this that might add...or subtract...for the overall story.
Zeke takes Carli out to his zen spot in the rocks, on his Harley. At two in the morning. With his dog Loki in s puppy seat keeping a tight eye on her the whole way. He thinks she's another vet having trouble adjusting back to civilian life so is being kind. But by this point, she's killed a woman and three men. And come close to killing him.Probably not the most romantic of situations, but on that ride she divorces herself from her need for revenge. The beauty and silence and cold air and Zeke's innate tenderness are almost cleansing her of her hate and psychopathic tendencies.
For the moment.
After all, where can a character go once she's realized she got a sexual rush off of killing a man? Not exactly something you can say three Hail Mary's over and be forgiven.
