I wouldn't worry about being too predictable. Sometimes you have to take the layup, and Morgan being the next client just made the most sense. The whole secret identity/anonymous tiny concept wouldn't be maximized if the client was a stranger; who would care about protecting their identity from someone who doesn't know them, after all. So, with Ben's family not being wealthy enough to pay for a treatment session (and no tag indicating giant male content), that left only Savannah and Morgan. Granted Savannah would have been a cool surprise, especially if she came out of nowhere to help Ben navigate some of this stuff, but Morgan was always the more gratifying choice.

Combine that with you hinting in your responses to reviews that we'd see a lot more of Morgan, and it only made sense that she would be visiting Tiny Treatments sooner or later. And with the client name being kept from us at the end of the last chapter, it seemed like the perfect setup for the giant best friend/possible love interest to pamper herself at Ben's expense.

So it was less that you're writing is predictable and more that you chose the best option. As much as you may want to keep your readers guessing, it's way more important to get things like this right! So you absolutely made the right call here!

And if it makes you feel any better, I can't say that I'm certain which way Ben is going to go after the end of this chapter. My guess is that he'll hit that panic button and get himself whisked away before he says another word and blows his cover, but I could easily be wrong about that. Even if it does play out that way, the days of Morgan not knowing his secret are definitely numbered. She'll put together that the mannerisms and voice she recognized were Ben's soon enough, and probably figure out that the reason he had himself removed when things had seemed to calm down and was safe is because his real voice would have been easily recognizable. Combine that with the "weird" new job her best friend Ben never talks about and has him acting all weird, and it should be pretty obvious to her. The way their conversation went down during the treatment wouldn't do him any favors either. I could even see Ben slipping up and mentioning the English presentation that she didn't tell full-sized him about and giving himself away at school the next day.

So it only makes sense to me that, even if Ben doesn't tell Morgan the truth, she's going to know it anyway within the next few chapters.

I still think he won't tell her, though, even though I echo Mr. In a Suit and also want him to. I think any chance of that happening went out the door when she unwittingly told him that she liked him. If he does tell her, I have a hard time seeing her do anything other than gently set him down somewhere and run out of the room as fast as possible, ducking his calls and texts for at least the rest of the day. I'd love to be wrong on that, though. It'd be cool to see him reveal himself and have them either talk it out or have an angry/embarrassed Morgan take advantage of the situation for some lighthearted vengeance!

But yeah, I think the fact that her confession is floating out there now makes it hard to have him do that. That just seems to me like a hard place to write from, honestly, and it puts both of them in a really weird place with each other.

Of course, and this is highly unlikely, it would be hillarious if Morgan revealed that she had already figured out it was him (maybe overhearing Angie talk about it and seeing Ben's reaction gave him away, and she requested the same tech that Angie had to prove it to herself) and that she knew it was true as soon as she saw him and made up that crush stuff just to fuck with him! 

But again, I don't think that is the case (although it's still technically on the table). I was starting to wonder if Morgan had a thing for Ben and if that was why she was so weird about Angie and him getting along so well all of a sudden. So I wasn't surprised by the revelation that she's into him. I am, however, really intrigued to see how this love triangle plays out! I think this is a great direction for the story to take!

But focusing less on theories and more on the chapter itself, Ben's approach to talking with Morgan was slightly different here, but he still definitely put himself in a spot where he could be in trouble when Morgan finds out it's him under that tiny mask. Multiple times she said that she didn't want to bother him with her problems, but he kept insisting, saying it would be therapeutic for her. And he may have meant that wholeheartedly and not been trying to snoop, but it's going to look like he was snooping after the fact. From what we've seen, I think Ben's bond with Morgan is strong enough to survive this, but it's most assuredly going to leave their friendship in an awkward place for a while.

Again, great job selling Morgan's size, and I love Ben trying to reconcile the goddess before him with the girl he's been best friends with since kindergarten. We haven't gotten much actual interaction between them yet (and we might not, depending on what Ben does next), but what we got from the footbath was pretty great in its own right!

I really like how Morgan was so concerned with Ben's behavior and feeling like he's changed while Ben is wondering why she's not telling him everything (mainly about the English presentation, but that represents more potentially, at least in his mind). So Morgan is apparently changing too (or maybe she never told Ben as much as he thought she did). I just thought it was pretty neat that they mirrored each other in this regard!

Morgan revealing that she has feelings for Ben was really well done. It didn't come off as an earth-shattering event. She was getting it off her chest, but she did so in a casual way, which felt really realistic and made the most sense since she's telling this to a "stranger." Ben's reaction was pretty good, too, with him not having enough time to really process this information yet and mostly being in shock about it. This causing him to fall into the water had me rolling!

And once again he's asking a client to get handsy with him. You know, I'm starting to think Ben is doing this on purpose! Ha! But seriously, I've mentioned before how much I love handheld stuff, and seeing Morgan pick up Ben like he weighs nothing as he's rocketed to her eye level was awesome! I know I made a lot out of whether or not Ben would tell her, but now that he's up there, I wouldn't be stunned if she just flat out clocked him right away now that he's so close to her line of sight!

I've also mentioned before that I was of the belief that Ben was going to an upend school filled with a lot of the kids of the wealthy elite, probably there on a full scholarship or something (the fact that Maggie, his twin, acts like the only reason she knows of any of these people is because he talks about them is a subtle indication that they go to different schools despite being the same age). Morgan being able to afford the treatment, which, again, has been described as being pretty pricey and for high-end clients if I'm remembering right, seems to back that up. She seems down to earth, but that doesn't mean she doesn't come from a really well-off family like Angie's.

The reason I bring this up and why I think it's kind of important is that I think both potential love interests for Ben (Angie and Morgan, of course) are probably not in a position to immediately understand what Ben is going through with his family. We saw some of that with Angie when she complained about her parents trying to send her off to Harvard and Yale while he's struggling to pay application fees to try to get into schools. So I'm really curious to see how they might react when they find out why he's working at Tiny Treatments. Both of them seem like pretty empathetic, awesome people, and I think the emotion of that/those moment(s) could be pretty powerful.

But yeah, that's enough tangents from me for a at least a chapter! Again, this was great, and the fact that we were right that Morgan was the client takes nothing away from how great a development it was or how much fun seeing her in the treatment chair has been so far (and hopefully continues to be, even if Ben has to out himself/gets outed).
