Yes, after one of her multiple personalities killed her and before she was possessed by the devil.
Actually, no. :)

Normally I hate the friends fall in love stories. But when I started writing one, there are tons of things you can do with it, to make it less cliched and more like a real-life drama. Honestly with Romance/angst/drama the more realistic the plotline and characters, the better the story will be. I think what makes a story less than stellar is that the writer either should NOT be writing, or there's not enough of what could REALLY happen in the story.
For instance right now in my series the two friends (Ali and Nick) who fell in love are beginning to drift apart. They've grown too comfortable with each other, as couples often do after a certain point and having them deal with real relationship issues as far as trust and intimacy, etc.
It's REALLY easy to be like hey they fell in love, happily ever after, the end. lol But that's not how life is and making it reflect life and real relationships is what makes a good Romance story.

^ That's what I've tried to do with mine too. Otherwise it's too boring, if it's just girl meets boy, girl and boy fall in love, girl and boy get married and have babies and live happily ever after without any of the problems normal couples face.

lol.. I guess 'Memories' falls into the cliché-category.. as to why I never managed to finish that one.. ;)
'Lavender Rush' will have a ton of clichés too, though.. but I'll try to use my knowledge of certain psychological disorders to make some things more realisitic..
I can't seem to get into the writing mood though. I think I need a new challenge..
