I love Melissa. She ensures she'll be heard, even by thick-headed idiots who are rude to her face and even physically assault her (by grabbing her wrist) before demanding she submit an apology to THEM for being 'rude' for ignoring their insults. She is the better person in so many ways.
Nine's beauty is a hint, dear Melissa, that perhaps you (and he) are main characters, too...! 😉
I can't wait to see how the story with the hunt and Rabbit!Jake goes! Maybe her stupid little brother will take her seriously and stop being so selfish and disrespectful now!
