Don't Read (The Last Page)

it's on your face (and I'm to blame, i need to say)

...hey, it's on me...

You guys missed me? Cause I missed you 😇

First things first, my latest test came out negative and I'm officially covid free. Fucking finally. Fuck you, Covid...

I am, unfortunately, still suffering from side effects. I get dizzy if I'm standing for more than a couple minutes. I get tired a lot more easily. My sense of taste and smell is all over the place so eating has been a challenge, which means my energy is waaaayy down and I have the attention span of a toddler (no joke, the intro of this chapter alone took me days to write...) so writing new chapters is taking me longer. Which means the wait between chapters is going to be longer. I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about it for now.

I've read all your comments wishing me and my mother well and while I haven't been able to answer you guys individually, thank you from the bottom of my heart. They were a huge morale boost for me.

Second, I've seen the teaser and...

I decided that I will reserve judgement.

But Ayşe better have a damn good explanation for making Eda hide her daughter when just two (three?) episodes ago, we watched her almost move away to a different country so she wouldn't be in between Serkan and his possible child...

Which is really out of character for Eda but let's keep in mind that we don't actually know why or how they broke up this time... Who knows? I mean, hell maybe Serkan pulled another ep14? Maybe that little girl isn't Serkan's? Maybe she got married (I've seen a Twitter post saying there's a ring on her finger and I looked at the pictures. Yes, there's a ring.) in Italy and the father is her husband? There was a speculation that another little boy is cast. Maybe, if it's true, that's Serkan's son with another woman? Maybe I'm a dramatic bitch who has too much time to think of scenarios that will hurt?

The thing is, who even knows at this point? Not us!

I am so sick of watching them apart though, I swear to God...

And to think I was kind of happy Ayşe came back...

But, all that aside, it's actually a good teaser, you know? I really like it from that perspective. It serves its purpose. Which is to get a reaction from the existing audience, like it or hate it, while drawing in new viewers. Like, if I hadn't seen S1, I definitely would give it a shot and sit and watch come June 9th. It is also the most attracting teaser I've seen so far for a summer show this year. There's intrigue, mystery, love, heartbreak, chemistry, symbolism...

Plus I have so many questions that even though I have my problems with it, I want the episode now so I can have those questions answered.

And it is only a teaser. Who knows what they have in store for us?

Hande and Kerem were on fire. As always. We really lucked out on that department.

Anyways. This note is getting longer than the chapter I managed to squeeze out... On to the chapter...

So, remember how Eda and Serkan had an argument at the brunch in episode 14?

I always thought Eda went a step too far when she called Serkan "loveless". And never really apologized.

I can buy that she said it in the heat of the moment and didn't really mean it but i didn't like it regardless. She should have known that Serkan isn't loveless. He's just guarded after being hurt one time too many.
