Cray-cray
Even with Mayda's seeming inability to remain clothed and everything that's happened to her, Charlotte is clearly the craziest thing in this story. So, a little bit of a change in tone there at the end. I wonder where you're headed...
Charlotte's conveniently timed anxiety attacks
Based on someone you knew? I hope not... But she's a very believable character, a real passive aggressive guilt-tripper, and it's a good thing our heroine is no longer in any danger of winding up married to her.
Although I like that touch of honest self appraisal at the end, realizing that as Ross she hadn't been any great prize herself. (this echoes the same theme in MINORITY OF ONE, which I'm eager to get back to reading but didn't want to read both stories at the same time because the tone is so different...). So anyway, now for the conclusion. Yeehaw!
It occurs to me that if Mayda ever does get back to "her" apartment she'll know where the key is hidden. That scene early in chapter one not only helped establish original-Mayda's character as someone not overly concerned with little matters like possible break-ins and alien abductions, it also gave our main character a way to get into her home and the start of this unfamiliar new life... if she doesn't end up getting arrested for murdering Ross.

for the axe had convinced them that because his handle
was made of wood he was one of them.
The test was that I had to find Ross.
that would be a difficult test!
Charlotte!
Oh, my God! I just started reading this story because it was yours and started with a “T.” I had no idea . . . :)

Oh, yes, *that* Charlotte
Yes, it's the same woman. She causes a little trouble here, but a lot of trouble in Charlotte Had A Boyfriend.
I'm glad it surprised you.

Necessary
Mayda can't afford to lose this help, however grudgingly given, and Charlotte is even crazier than she is. I won't ask where this is going!
Charlotte is a maelstrom of crazy
... but of course not completely bad.
(thanks for reading!)

High Maintenance
Charlotte sounds like a demanding partner to have - I keep getting Kathy Bates in Mysery in my head !!!
MAyda the Zoo exhibit may be the luckiest person since she should have a fairly stable existance ahead of her . . . . Ross thought. . . .hmmm! Chapter 5, I'm coming to get'cha !!!
Hugs&Kudos!!
