Lucky Girl - Completed

Late at night in a big city with loads of drunks is upping the risk factor and it really did look like Dean was offering some protection in case Evie had run into some unsavoury characters; all he wanted in return was conversation. He didn't linger too long to see if he would be invited into the flat...he went his way once the job of escorting her home was done. I know there's the whole Evie is independent, shouldn't feel obliged thing but reality is cities past midnight are filled with predators looking for vulnerable people to prey on...I'm originally a Londoner, I know what it's like out there.

Dean's still a bit all about his strong opinions (2012 Mayan calendar, really Dean? You'll be talking about fake moon landings next) but what we saw is a young man who has to work harder than Evie's crowd with an evening job on top of his course work and I've met plenty of guys (and a few women) like him who believe they've earned the right to strong opinions because they work harder at life. Again, great depth of characterisation here because this chapter has seen him go up a notch in my estimation but he still can't read a room and the drug taking was off but when he's sober, not high and not all about his opinions he's OK.

OK, that's the male reader opinion done.
