Comment from Pam (respa)
-That is quite an image, Barbara.
-I wasn't expecting the direction
the story went so good job on that!
-It was a good chapter showing
how kids can be a part of something
and feeling grown up about it,
but then learn from someone they
respect, that it wasn't a good choice to make.
-The family respects Gabe, and they
are okay with him being with their mom.
-It was also a very good message that
Gabe left him with about how his
younger brother could be influenced
if he were to have seen the magazine.
-I like the way you handled it.

I like the story. It reminds me of my boy. He was late coming home after school. I asked him where he was. He was honest to tell me he was at the book store reading girlie magazines...
I like your story and the conversations between Joshua and Gabriel.
Thank you for sharing.

It sounds like Gabriel is a decent guy and Katherine's mom must be hoing they will get together. He handled the magazine thing will. I can see him being willing to not tell Katherine in order to get closer to the Jordon. I guess Katherine doesn't need to know, but she probably doesn't like things being kept from her.

No mother likes being kept in the dark, but I think she understands when it comes to boys, there are things Mom should stay out of. LOL Thank you for the kind review.

Dear barbara, I see some good fathering in this chapter, so I hope Katherine will find someway to let Gabe work with her boys, Even if she wants to keep away from a relationship herself.

Gabriel's becoming the custodian of the boy's moral behaviour, and a man who knows what mistakes he's made and can set a moral example to young, hormonal boys. Katherine's mum knows her daughter, and gives her some unwanted advice. Beautifully written Barbara, a super episode, blessings Roy
Typo : They were his big brother(')s

You never disappoint in your writing. I am so glad to have you and a few others in FS as my favourite writers. I am definitely more into prose than poetry. Well done again and not a spag anywhere!

Thank you for the kind review and liking prose. Many people like the poetry because it's shorter.

Hate those short poems that still need a lot of wind in review hehe.
Comment from Jay Squires
I like the way this is developing, Barbara.
his big brothers. [...his big brother's (magazine).]
Gabriel shoved it inside a sports-bag. "I'll destroy it at my place." [Unless ... someone finds it first!]

I had to wait to answer your review until I had a chance to make the correction. It's done. Thank you for the catch. The Playboy Magazine comes back to haunt Gabriel, much later. LOL
Comment from robyn corum
Barb,
Nicely handled. Sounds like he is getting better and better at figuring out what a woman really wants. He's definitely what she needs. Now she just needs to figure that out. haha Thanks!
