User blog comment:SodaCat/Diamonds Chapter 10.5: Trophy/@comment-26358727-20151123122010

I'm very glad it's taken this turn - at least for now - because it really shows that Piper has changed a lot over the past ten chapters we've seen of her. At the start, she was so head-over-heels for Bif that she would have done a lot of stupid things to be with him. Even if that meant (unintentionally) breaking someone else apart in the process.

Here, we see she's not only thinking about herself. She's thinking about the developments she's made with Parker, and even if she doesn't necessarily see herself as "in love" with him, he's treated her a heck of a lot better than Bif has recently. It's important to see her becoming more aware of these things. Even as a prep, she's becoming a little less selfishly driven and actually starting to wake up to the reality around her.

Even though this is appearing as a 10.5, I'm glad you're sharing it! ( :

Really love the development Piper is making, especially for a prep! They're so self-absorbed that it doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room, but you're really making this one fly!

Can't wait to read more!
