assorted plot points

Assorted plot points, in no particular order:

• Quill Kelly and Nancy Wainwright are a lousy match. She treats him like shit, but he won’t give up his romantic notions of making it work.
  
• Kielle overhears/oversees a few things she shouldn’t but doesn’t realize at the time that her knowledge is dangerous.
  
• Somebody realizes Kielle knows incriminating facts.
  
• There’s a nasty backstage accident.
  
• Kielle saves Raleigh and Quill’s asses in a bar fight, at some expense to her health.
  
• Kielle’s revamp of the PC web site is a huge improvement.
  
• Kielle becomes mildly famous amongst PC fans — a little too famous to suit her, as she’s an introvert by nature.
  
• Kielle gets a secret admirer: a Mr. Peabody admires her writing on the PC site and her other work and leaves clever, complimentary comments. They strike up a friendly acquaintance. Kielle likes Peabody a lot, but he’s an anonymous Internet creature and probably gross in real life, so she doesn’t think much of it.
  
• Quentin Kelly hates being on the road away from his family.
  
• What’s the deal between Bill Williams and Arlynn La Pierre? She must know where some bodies are buried or something.
  
• Quentin and Quill don’t get along very well. Quin is often caught in the middle trying to make peace.
  
• Quentin works his day job from the road. He’s an architect. Quin works his day job from the road, too. He’s a financial advisor. Quill does not have a day job (and Quentin doesn’t let him forget it). All he’s ever wanted to do is sing.
  
• Nancy tries to make life difficult for Kielle.
  
• Kielle desperately misses having privacy and like-minded friends around to talk to.
  
• Kielle discovers that Darius, the stage manager, also does kung fu (praying mantis style). They become fast friends and workout partners when time permits. But that isn’t as often as they’d like, as Darius has to travel ahead with the equipment truck, while Kielle usually (but not always) travels with the performers.
  
• Kielle meets Benjamin Shea, a cousin of the Kellys. Although both are gun-shy from previous bad relationships, they hit it off right away.
  
• The story takes place over the course of about a year.
  
• Kielle starts to realize that the odd little bits and pieces she’s seen/heard add up to something — something bad. She starts to investigate in earnest.
  
• Kielle confides her suspicions in Ben, who is a private investigator.
  
• Kielle and Ben are an item.
  
• Kielle and Ben break up.
  
• Kielle has a near-death experience, with a little help.
  
• Kielle confronts Bill with her suspicions.
  
• Bill fires Kielle. She goes into hiding.
  
• There’s a murder that looks like a suicide.
  
• Quill discovers the body and is struck mute with shock.
  
• Ben tracks Kielle down and convinces her to come back to Atlanta to see if she can help Quill.
  
• Thrown together again, Kielle and Ben figure out what’s really going on. They solve the mystery (whatever it is!).
  
• Everyone lives happily ever after.
