Wow... what do we think is going on????
Well for starters I think that Sophie is alive and safe somewhere... maybe she is with someone we haven't even been introduced to yet.
I couldn't believe in the beginning that Brian seemed like an abuser. But as the first 100 pages went by, it looks like more and more that he might have been. I do understand that women try to put on a front that they are strong and can handle it. But I think it takes the strongest type of person to realize they need help... and actually go out and get it and I can't understand why Tessa didn't. That's why there are certain things that make me still question if Brian abused Tessa. Like the question was asked towards the end of this section, Tessa had plenty of time to get out... Brian was on for 60 days and off for 60 days... she had plenty of time to leave on those times that he was on, and get away from her abuser... so there must be something more... why didn't she leave? Was he abusing her? Or was there something else? If he was abusing her... why did she continue to stay?
The cops keep looking into the fact that there might be something with the father of Sophie... I highly doubt it, but if they keep questioning it, that might be a possibility. Maybe Sophie ran away on her own... or maybe something else... I don't know!!!
As for D.D. I do love her. She seems like a hard ass! Doesn't take any crap from anyone. I do know, that as this case goes on, she is going to be going through some internal issues, considering she is carrying a child herself. I wonder when she is going to tell Alex? I couldn't even imagine holding in something like a pregnancy. (But you guys know me... I can't really keep anything a secret!!!)
Will comment tomorrow Jen - just got home and am bushed so will write tomorrow. Promise!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think there is someone we haven't met yet - maybe this unknown person is the one abusing her while Brian is gone......
ReplyDeleteI think Sophie will be found alive, but I don't have any good ideas as to where she is now. I do feel bad for Tessa - and I'm sure there are women out there that seem so strong, and somehow they find a way to hide their real issues and are unable to escape those types of situations. At the beginning, Brian seemed nice and caring, etc, so maybe there is more to the story - I guess I'm not convinced that he is the bad guy yet - Tessa could be saying he was abusive so there is a motive for why he is dead.....I still feel like there is someone else involved...
Maybe Shane...?
ReplyDeleteAunt Joyce.......where you at?!?!
ReplyDeleteLauren I agree with every thing you are saying.... I would say more, but I have read past the part...
Im ready to keep going... I finished section two last night... it is getting soooooo good!!!!! So I guess I will enjoy March Madness, Thursday - Sunday with no reading...
That's hilarious - I've finished section 2 already too!! Can't stop reading!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that I'm late. That isn't me but here goes. I'm answering the first part. While reading this I see the classic signs of abuse and how abused victims react(no matter the background or training). Tessa definitely was beaten and showed all the signs by not telling or talking about it. Just seeing the bruises, limping, etc. As I am reading this, though, I am wondering about her thought processes. Her comment to Brian that "I love you, I'm sorry" while standing over him. His saying to her "I love you more". The prologue says he made her take off her vest and her gun belt. Yet when the police and the EMT are with her, she still has them all on? What does this mean? Yet the babysitter corroborates what we are being led to believe. Brian was the abuser and Tessa the victim. Don't know where this is all heading. I do believe that Sophie is ok and safe but where and with whom? So it looks like I am agreeing with all you guys. I haven't gone on to Section 2 but will have it done tonight cause like Lauren, can't stop reading.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that I am ready for your next post and chomping at the bit cause I want to find out what is happening next. :)
