This story is all telling with no showing. It's almost like there's a germ of a screen play - all costume and no passion. It's hard to tell whether anyone has feelings in this entire story -- the chemistry between Oscar and Squire is ambiguous. The next steps are clearly telegraphed - as the first time Rebecca visits the C&S office - it's clear Elias is going to end up with her. Does Vivian even exist? Why create a survivor like Vivian only to blow her off like smoke or fog?
Not romantic. Not sexy. Not even emotionally engaging. So much anachronism (ie modern business marketing etc).

Play nice - don't say things here that you wouldn't say to me or any other complete stranger in person. That doesn't mean you can't express a different opinion or experience but do it in a civil and respectful way.
Links to cute cat and garden pictures highly appreciated as are donations of homemade vegan sweets.
NO SEO spam or link building every time I mention "cinnamon." I will delete those comments.
