Post #2

Whoa - I could see that Mason Rollins' character was becoming more aggressive, but forcing himself on Fiction? We haven't seen the last of this folks. I always considered them friends at the very least, with nothing more than a playful (albeit annoying) flirtatious influence thanks to Mason. This adds quite the drama to the story, seeing as Big Red is Mason's "right hand man" at the moment. I expect that Big Red is going to have to choose where his loyalties lie in regards to Fiction or Mason, and something tells me he's going to choose Fiction. I also foresee Two Step having a larger role in the pages to come. He always seems to pop up at the right time (as when Mason was a little too friendly with Fiction) and to me this seems like more than coincidence.

As for Bud, I think we are starting to see his confidence really falter for the first time. Mason's financial influence has given him a power that I don't think Bud ever saw coming. That being said, I'm wondering whose side I should be on. Throughout the whole book I have hated Bud, but now I hate Mason, too! His money is going to his head, and his plans for the community are becoming a little too lofty. Are his motives still as good-natured as they used to be? Or have they turned into something more sinister, just like he has? We will just have to wait and see...
