I've had someone post comments about a double standard and Veronica's behavior in the story. I want to set a few things straight.
First - nothing actually happened between Jack and Veronica. Could she, would she? Perhaps. Or perhaps it was an overactive imagination on my part. At 15 everything is about sex.
Second - Kim set her straight. Even if she had only been kidding around, Kim let her know it was unwelcome. Veronica got it and never did it again.
Third - as far as I know, she's never done anything illegal and she isn't a pedophile.
Fourth - the events all took place in 1980-81, long before the me-too movement and everything didn't trigger everyone.
Fifth - she remains a good friend.
