Lisa's pregnant? Whoo boy!

"In her heart of hearts she knew that she'd only agreed to a date to spite JC. It was the best way she could think of to get back at him." Goes to prove how hypocritical people can be. But I still felt sorry for Clare when her date ended on such a sour note, and I was impressed at the way she was able to defend herself from that creep. I love that cab driver, even though his appearance is very brief. 

"She knew the experience had made her stronger, but it had also made her cynical and bitter, and she hated that. She hated what she’d become. It wasn’t her. It wasn’t the real her." Nicely said, and it's good to see the girl's conscience finally working on her. 

As for that long overdue talk at the end, I have to be honest: it was well worth the wait, and I'm sure glad you didn't take another 20 chapters to get there. Even if it still takes a while before Clare and JC officially get over what happened and make up, it's good to see things are finally facing the right direction. 

Well done, mate.
