I'll fix those issues when I do a final edit.

2025-09-07 11:12:27 +0000 UTCI'm not sure what you're trying to say, but here's a complete timeline of events and what days they took place on: Here’s the day-by-day timeline from the point Maggie and Scott first hook up with Lena through the end of Chapter 21: Wednesday Morning: Judith confrontation at her house (Scott, Maggie, Lena vs. Judith). Late morning/early afternoon: Maggie and Lena go upstairs together for their first sexual encounter. Immediately after, Lena goes downstairs and has sex with Scott. Maggie later joins in—touching Scott while he’s inside Lena, kissing him, etc. This is the first time Scott and Maggie cross the line sexually. Afternoon: Scott showers, picks up kids; Maggie sleeps before her night shift. That night Maggie works a full swing/Adam Watch shift. Thursday Early morning: Maggie meets Stacy for their usual clandestine “gym” tryst in the minivan. Daytime: Scott and Maggie keep things normal at home. Evening: They both go to work again (separate cars, Thursday routine). At briefing, they acknowledge what happened but don’t fully process it. Friday Morning (after shift, ~8:30 AM): Scott and Maggie return home together. Lena joins them with HOA minutes. Over tea, Lena presses them to talk about what happened. They openly admit attraction and willingness to “travel further down the road.” Afterward, Scott goes to sleep. Afternoon/evening: Scott cooks enchiladas, family dinner. 7:15 PM: Scott leaves for work. His night is dominated by the Bartholomew Winthrop III (“Time Out”) homicide scene. Saturday Morning: Scott comes home around 6:30 AM, drinks bourbon, decompresses. Maggie wakes and they talk—he tells her about BWIII’s death. Later, in the kitchen, they have the “time out” honesty talk, admit sexual attraction, and agree to take a few steps further down the road. Maggie says maybe after breakfast/shower/kids settled. Midday: Maggie invites Scott into her room. This is the first full sexual encounter between Scott and Maggie—handjob, oral, and finally intercourse. They both climax, and it’s clear the line is crossed fully. Afternoon: Kids cause a small kitchen fire (the barometer incident), interrupting them. Scott spends the rest of the day recovering and trying to sleep before his next shift. Evening: Pizza for dinner; Scott goes to work as usual. Sunday Morning: Maggie reflects on soreness from sex with Scott. They share normal banter over breakfast (he makes pancakes). Afternoon/evening: Lena and Stacy come over together. Maggie formally recruits Stacy into the anti-Judith team. Scott watches Maggie carefully manage the situation. Stacy later suggests a “bonus gym day.” Maggie tells Scott she has to go. Night: Scott works another long shift, ending with the “baby abandoned on sidewalk” call that keeps him into Monday morning. Monday (early, 4:30–8 AM) Scott is held over finishing child-neglect reports. Maggie cancels her bonus gym date with Stacy because she can’t leave the kids unattended

Still fits most of the rest of the chapter. The kids are on Christmas break so would be home when Lena and Stacy come over. The issue would be that the next shift should be Maggie on a Monday night.

First at the very top of the page "Stacy tugged one earbud out." and the second time about 1/3 of the way down "Stacy remarked, pulling out one earbud." This could be correct if Stacey did pull out two earbuds during the conversation. But if two earbuds were removed then the second time probably should be something like "pulling out the other earbud." Next, is also around 1/3 of the way down the page "Stacy brought the treadmill to a jog as Hannah matched her pace on the floor beside her." Should that be "on the machine beside her"?
