Open Trade - Pg 217 - UPDATE
🕑 Added 2024-04-21 23:21:10 +0000 UTCUPDATE: Sorry for the second ping. Art was pixelated on the previous, and I wanted to make sure the correct page got out to everyone. Thanks!

Little late on this one. I was having a bit of a rough week last week. Some technical issues kept me from getting pages done. Then I had some insane migranes that took me out of a couple days.
Thankfully all behind now, as we wrap up Steph and Alex's 'talk'.
I'm going to working to try to catch up this week so we still have two pages, and the last two pages, of Dress to Thrill. Will work to get the missing bonus content as well.
Thank you for your patience.

She's hard to pin down with all the changes

Can scarcely blame her, Steph's been Ship-of-Theseus-ing herself for so long it would be hard to pin down who or what I was dating.

Pretty surprising revelation from Alex by how the whole meeting was set up. Plus it seems this was coming at some point. Would’ve thought Steph would argue some trades weren’t her choice but I doubt Alex would take it as a good excuse.

But when one door closes and other opens.

:(
Roseleaf
yups.
Natalia
Completely understandable
Roseleaf
She's changed!
Sam Mann
Honestly it's for the best. Steph is literally not the girl she started dating

I originally wrote it for a scene a couple months ago. But it was meaner and I didn't want to end the month that way.
Roseleaf
With the length of the story, it's easy to miss and/or forget. Wyatt/Steph mentions it before the date.
Roseleaf
Never a good time.
Roseleaf
sadly not. :)

She's making an opening for something fun.
Roseleaf
how dare she! :)

if I’m honest, I could see this breakup potentially coming. The number of challenging traits Steph has would make any relationship volatile. I think the need for clear, open and honest communication in the situations would be paramount.

Wow, what a revelation there is on her originally thinking she was going to be going out with Wyatt pre changes. So was this something her sister had arranged before everything happened? Also damn for it to be holding all that for how many months now?

Oh, poor Steph!
Adam Reisinger
So the pixelization wasn’t an avant garde way of visualizing Steph’s inability to understand the whole picture?
Mr. Domino
Good. Bye, forgettable side character.

Oh no! She has boundaries!
