I did like this story, but I thought if anything was going to drive Kiva to hammer Cynthia, it would be something involving her family. Maybe picking up her daughter from cheerleading and Cynthia saying something, 'your dad moved on after your mom got all crabby.' Bringing out the crazy in Kiva
That would have worked. We are all momma bears when it comes to our kids.
Fighting over a rose bush might have seemed weak, but I hope readers recognized it went deeper than that. Kiva interpreted Cynthia’s attempt to get her to hand over the roses as an assertion of dominance and bullying and she decided to stand up to her. At least I hope that’s how it came across. The next chapter is in the works with a few new characters.
Looking forward to the next chapter
