Poor Meris, all torn up and needing to be comforted. At least she has daddy. Speaking of, the interplay between hot and cold is getting interesting, and the directions the dreams lean become more interesting the more they interact. I find myself wondering if Betty will meet the same fate as Rick - going too far, only to go all the way.

I must admit that I am a little disappointed that Meris didn't answer all the questions correctly after chapter 16, or at least that we didn't get to see her get her reward for it. Hopefully, she gets another chance, or at least a flashback.
