Very nice chapter. Below are just some suggestions and that is all so take from it what you will, okay. :-)
She then sighed and sat down at the dining room table, looking at the pages of her diary strewn over it. Any page with their name was torn out and their name was blotted out with whatever had been close at hand.
--With tweaking this could read a bit better. Maybe-- With a heavy sigh she sat down at the dining room table.The torn pages of her diary strewn over it. Everywhere their names had been, she had blotted it out with whatever she could get her hands on. -- Just a thought. :-)
She got up from the table and got dressed, paying attention to detail.--You'd mentioned earlier that she had got up from the table to throw the pages in the bin and then you have her back sitting at the table. Might want to look at that. :-)
Her spine was straight as she took in a deep breath to try and relax.--Maybe: Her rigid spine ached as she took in a deep breath and tried to relax.--
I understand, I know it has been hard for you to try and pretend you loved me. Let's end it here." --I'm confused. Your main character is upset bc she's been heartbroken and yet you have the other person saying that the main character was pretending to love and she broke it off? Is that correct? I'm not sure. You might want to make this more clear. I feel like you jumped right in and didn't explain it clearly. Who broke up with who?
You did a great job of painting a picture. I mean I could see and feel Helen's pain. I could see the scenes in my mind. Good job!!

I have reworked the short story slightly, so I hope it reads a little more smoothly? I got snowed in with assignments and tests, so I haven't had a chance until now. Thank you for the review! :D

Thank you for the poem, though the stanzas didn't come out so I had a bit of trouble keeping up, but it was nice. Best wishes to you :)

I enjoyed this. Maggie's character is interesting. You do marvelously at describing her sorrow and her strength to pick herself up .
is this a stand alone or will you be developing the story further>
Thanks for the read .

I think this is likely to be a stand alone, I'm not sure where it would go if I continued it further. Thank you for the lovely review :)
