Early Bird: Teacher's Pet, Ch. 13 (Patreon)

Diane continues to exploit every insecurity that Helena offers her, but in Helena's fight to stand up for herself, she stumbles upon a potential advantage. If she chooses to use it.

Things aren't really getting any easier for Helena, but she's still trying. Or trying to try. The biggest challenge with this series is always to figure out how Helena should realistically react and figure out how Diane can navigate it, but we can overlook--or train ourselves to ignore--a lot of red flags for a crush who's giving us attention. That can only last for so long, though. Diane should be careful!

I do love this series. I really hope it's not starting to feel like the kind of slow burn that never goes anywhere. I just keep looking at Helena and going, "Hm, nope, she's not quite ready yet." And she's not.

But I think she's getting close. :)

Thanks for reading!
