MC POV

Sunset or Sunrise?

Maddie: Sunset. The colors are the perfect end to a day, new colors appear tomorrow night.

Alex: I love a good sunrise along the Cape Fear. I can sit on my porch, coffee in hand, and take in the warmth and colors.

Mitchell: I like the sunset, the fish are biting more, and I can sit at the beach, listen to the waves, unwind.

MC POV

Look around you, right now. What's wrong with this picture?

The fact my husband is involved in my best friend's death doesn't qualify as wrong. Despicable bastard.

Does your MC consider themselves an introvert or an extrovert?

Maddie from #OutOfAshes is an extrovert. She loves to be around other people. She and Rachel were always partying in college.

Alex is an introvert and Mitchell from #SaltyCharm extrovert. Although Alex owns a surf shop, she loves the company of her home and fishing by the Cape Fear. Mitchell, approached Alex in the bar, no fear. He has a best friend, and they're always going out having fun.

MC POV

What was the first thing you saved up your money to purchase?

#OutOfAshes

Maddie: I purchased a 1965 Mustang Bullitt when I got my first job as an orthopedic physical therapist. My idiot husband, Greg, wrecked it driving drunk and high on cocaine.

#SaltyCharm

Alex: I purchased a 1990 red Jeep Wrangler in high school, and she's still going.

Mitchell: Once my job became steady, I traded in my beat up high school car for a brand new 2008 gray Dodge Ram 1500. Going to install a lift kit on it soon.

🚪 Day 1 🚪

Intro Day! Your MC shows up on your doorstep. What do you say and/or do?

#outofashes
Maddie showing up means she needs help and I'd help her. I'd brew her favorite Vanilla Cream Puff coffee and show that she's not alone. Whatever she requires.

#SaltyCharm
Alex showing up, time to hang out along the Cape Fear River, fish, and enjoy life. Trauma healing.

💔 Day 14 💔

MC POV. Have you ever broken someone's heart?

I've broken my own heart more than one should. As for someone else, yes. My first boyfriend, bless his heart. I dumped him after recess in 3rd grade because he kicked sand in my face. The heart is precious. Love hard.
