I'll try to answer each question as best as I can.Dude, you have captured Annie perfectly. I can imagine being exactly like this when she is in a position of power, be it a lawyer, Mayor, principal, or whatever. This was an excellent chapter; I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I do have a few questions: 1. What attracted her to MC in the first place? 2. What was their time together like? 3. Had she been pregnant first, would the relationship have lasted? 4. Finally, does she still have feelings for MC, or is it just sexual?
1. Probably something that Cookie would of answered in STS, but I imagine probably what attracted Annie to Anon is the fact that he is kind of her opposite. He's relaxed, mellow, he isn't looking for power but because he is just that likable and is always willing to help, people flock to him. Plus not that bright but good heart, very similar to Lucy in that sense. Subconsciously she probably saw Anon like her own mother, similar to how she is similar to her father, as well as Anon just having a natural charisma that get people to follow him in a way she wished she could through fear and intimidation.
2. I imagine there time might have been mostly a sexual one. She is attracted to Anon, but those same differences in personality that attract her to Anon, are also why she can't stand him long term. Opposites attract, but similarities endure. If they stayed together, it probably would of been similar to Her parents relationship.
3. Probably not. Like they are sexually attracted to each other, but Anon and Annie are just too different to endure. They probably would of been like Lucy and Richard, but at the very least, Anon has more backbone than Lucy to get the hell out of dodge. But Annie at the time probably would of done everything she could to convince him to stay in a miserable marriage for the sake of her reputation.
4. I have the feeling it's mostly sexual. She doesn't want anything bad to happen to him, as he is the father of their daughter, but she has mostly just moved on from him. She Only wanted to be in a relationship with him all those years ago because being a single mother comes with stigmas and hurdles that would of prevented her rise to power, but she was able to overcome that through her "Miracle virgin birth" narrative. I couldn't find a place to put it in this script but I would say if you ask her right now "Would you have married Anon" she would say "Anon would of gotten in the way of my long term goals. So even though I started out with the stigma of being a single Mother, I was able to rise to the top without anyone dragging me down".
