Tattooed Moon (31 page)

2.   Julian is not your ‘typical’ Alpha male. He is not loud, nor overly aggressive until pushed to that level – as demonstrated by his behavior at Milan’s coworker’s retirement party. In three words or less, how would you describe Julian?

3.   Milan and Julian are very different people. Why do you believe they were drawn to one another, and their relationship worked so well?

4.   Julian would be considered by many to be eccentric, possibly even strange. He is into self healing, the art of the tattoo, and is very open-minded. He is also unconventional, intelligent, and appears to buck at rules and traditions. How do you think he became this way?

5.   Julian works with interesting people in his shop. He is also a perfectionist, as is evidenced by his lack of sleep and inner thoughts regarding his obligations and job. How did this possibly aid and hinder him, relationship and career wise?

6.   Milan is a responsible woman, who is intelligent, capable, and has just suffered a great loss. What are the reasons you believe she was so offended by what was happening to her at work with respect to her new supervisor Martin? Have you ever had to deal with a ‘Martin’ as well?

7.   Why do you think Julian opened up to Milan about the loss of his son during their first date? It was stated he hadn’t been this open with anyone before, so what was it about Milan that made him feel as if he could finally get it off his chest?
