Bad Beat: Chapter 2 (Patreon)

I hope that the reveal of who Nurse Maddock and Angela were having dinner with wasn't too obvious, but also I wanted it to be properly foreshadowed. There's nothing I like less than a reveal that doesn't have proper foreshadowing, and I'd rather people figure it out way ahead of time than have it be nonsensical.

So yes! As it turns out, her Angela is the very same Angela mentioned in Bet On Black. I threw in another mention of her in the Bet On Black Interlude I wrote recently, but even as far back as the original story it's mentioned that Gabriel has a sister who is the housewife of a dominant woman in town.

But what's more, now we get to find out how these two lovebirds met so very long ago, and how, exactly, a woman like Angela Chesterfield became the slavishly devoted housewife she now is!
