This is the next installment of the Companion story of Rachel and Karson.
Hope you enjoy it. I am glad to accept any feedback you wish to offer.
This is the continuing story of the Companion Karson and his Guardian Rachel. Rachel visits her parents, there is a news story about a Companion involved in a murder, and the new ruling on Companion Rights.
*NOTE*
Recently did a re-write on this to make it suited for general audiences. Plus fixed a couple of typos and a minuscule amount of formatting.

Another lovely chapter to a great story. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first. Rachel and Karson do make quite a cute couple. However, I did notice just a few things.
I noticed you used the word "sight" when I think you meant "site," as in "reception site." But the mistake was made only twice. Nothing a little more proofing wouldn't fix. ^_^
Also, there were places where the dialogue was just a little awkward. Overall, you have very good control over it, but sometimes it just doesn't quite feel right, such as in the "Insecurity" scene. It's hard to offer critque on things like this because 1) dialogue can be hard to write at the best of times and 2) I'm not very good at writing dialogue myself, but I think you should ad least give your conversations another once over. There are places where you don't contract phrases like "have not" and "would not." Although I cansee Karson as the kind of person who wouldn't speak with contractions (if I squint), Rachel strikes me as a person who does. Most people usually use contractions in their speech unless they are putting emphasis on one of the words in the contraction.
Other than that, I thought the story was fantastic and I can't wait for the next installment. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the grammar catch again. I plan to go back through the stories and see if I can catch any more.
As far as the dialogue goes, I tried to be real particular about how each character "talked". In some instances the lack of contractions was on purpose, but probably other places I just forgot to write it in.
It is agreed that "natural" dialogue is difficult to do, and it is something I try to improve on with every story.
Again, it is awesome for me to hear that you liked the story. :D
