I reworded some stuff, but believe I kept it in your intended voice. Also, I would consider reviewing Sam's chapters. Some of them repeat the exact dialogue and don't add any new information. I did my best to remove some of the repeated dialogue and try to add some thoughts and feelings from Sam that the reader wasn't privy to from Alyssa's chapters. I also changed every time Sam referred to Lexy as "Lex" back to "Lexy," because it seemed like that was a nickname much more from Alyssa than from him.<br /><br />Please let me know if you have any questions. I would be happy to look back over anything that you're concerned with.
