"There is no way telling where you're going with this - which is meant as a compliment. ;) "
You know what, that is a big compliment to me. I personally don't like plotlines to be too predictable and I always worry about mine (though worry in the fun way). It's nice to know I can surprise people. ^_^ Thank you so much.
I'll be honest, for the longest time, I told myself I wasn't going to throw Willow and Wesley together. The scenario didn't work in my head and I always thought of Wesley like you do, just like a brother, and protector for Willow, someone who always saw Willow as a child. But Willow did have little girl fantasies about Wesley being a prince and while she is transitioning into something darker, I thought I needed to explore that a bit. With the shock of Clara's pact breaking and knowing Sibyll is dead, Wesley really is alone now, and I thought he would want to latch on the first thing that gave him any kind of love. I guess as a writer, it's good to push yourself out of your comfort zone and be a little disturbed by what your characters want to do. I love how you think about him though, finding another being equally as lonely. He did find that in Sibyll (which I explored in the scene I deleted for this chapter... it'll show up in another though).
I won't say too much about Jasmine and Adrian. As you imagine, I'm not entirely through with them yet. It would be nice, because I really like them together. But again, it's always good to throw chaos out there in storyland. ;)
Thank you again for all your comments recently. I really am glad you like the story so far!
