"Poor Austin"

This really captured the essence of this chapter quite well. Man, I can't help but feel for the guy. It wasn't his choice that Anna had outgrown him, and her actions really didn't help in soothing his jealousy. The circumstance they found themselves in really merited a divergence in their paths, so I guess this is the best case scenario for him. He has lagged behind quite far ever since Anna turned into a vampire, and this was a long time coming. The emotions conveyed really seep through the words. I need some time to process everything. Amazing job, my friend.
