Love the "oh, crap" moment at the end and the well-meaning teen who brought his health insurance along with his car insurance.

I am absolutely in. Waiting until Saturday each week is going to be agony, lol. I can’t wait to see where this story goes!

Glad you enjoyed it, Chantal! Reading serialized fiction has been such a fun Substack experience, and I’m glad to have you along for the ride as I try my hand at it!

I'm coming to this late, so I don't have to wait for the next chapter! Even so, the suspense... great start, and a great way to end the chapter.

“I didn’t tell Sarah I’d rescheduled my appointment.” I was so wrapped up in the story it took me a moment to realize! I can’t wait to catch up on the rest of the episodes
