2-3-4 Challenge Book Discussions #2 discussion

We knew Jonathan Paxton was inordinately fixated on Lucy from earlier stories but did you ever imagine it was this intense? Should we have predicted he would continue to monitor her life? Did he really believe Sean wasn’t good enough for her or was he resentful of him having taken him down earlier?

Since he considered Lucy to be his "daughter," it stood to reason for him to think that no one would measure up a a partner for her. Sean was not on the approved list of potential suitors, that's for sure.

I knew Paxton had an unhealthy fixation on Lucy and I'm not surprised he wanted to monitor her life; he would have controlled it if he could have. He really truly believed Sean wasn't good for her. He would have loved seeing Lucy and Colton together. Colton shared his vigilante world view and he really wanted Lucy to share it also. Sean was way to independent.

I really thought Paxton had a good sense of who Lucy really was since she cut ties with him. It appears he thought eliminating Sean would change her way of thinking. Geez.

And did Colton really believe Lucy would ever give him the time of day? Please.

I'm just saying that to Paxton it would have been the perfect match. Lucy would have never gone for it.

Oh, I understand. But Colton would have had to believe it, too.

Paxton went from being fixated on Lucy to full on obsession. He believed that she was his child and he didn't want Sean anywhere in the picture. He saw Sean as a bad influence which was turning Lucy against him.

He went batsh** crazy. Maybe he always was. Dillon mentioned that maybe it was a mistake giving him the details of what happened to his daughter. I think he was right.
