A nice comment from @Lotus_Kitty today on one of my stories that's a year or so old.
And don't worry Lotus, Hannah definitely learned her lesson from that disastrous experience.

Do your characters ever learn?
Forgot to add something quite important, that Hannah needs to respect a no. The first time! Especially a hard no. That would have been a great time to tell Ben that it's fine if he doesn't want to play but how does he feel about her and John playing? He'd made that clear nonverbally but she still could have asked. Putting Ben on the spot later was using pressure. Never negotiate relationship boundaries in the heat of the moment. Not a criticism of the story! Good to see those two messing up so we learn from their mistakes! Good to see them learning!
