hi, martina--
thanks for another critique!
to answer your question about the cursing, different characters express themselves in different ways. vincent's a desperate guy in a desperate situation, and excessive language felt appropriate to me. sorry if it bothered you. :0 i'm glad you felt the story worked otherwise--thanks for reading!
