I loved this. Gabriel is trying so hard. He loves her boys and I know they are growing to love him too. The dad they never had. This is such a good story (you make it very real) and no spags this time around.

Football Chapter 21 part2
I like how you made the conversation between
Gabriel and Katherine, it was told and both Gabriel and Katherine were calm disusing Gabriel's behavior during his pro-career still haunts him and he trying to make it right. then Gabriel saying, I Praayed that before we take our relationship to the next level, I have put my past where it belongs and I'm worthy of you. Again, I've done most of the talking."

What a lovely conversation they just had. We all have a past, but should never have to keep paying for it! It's what we are right now that counts, that's why Jesus keeps erasing our past, so the next moment is a new dawn, beautifully written my friend Barbara, well done, blessings Roy

Well, that talk certainly should be the jealousy out of the picture, but I'm sure any woman who cared about a man would feel the same wayl Katherine did when seeing a young sexy girl kissing the man she cared about. It is pretty obvious that Gabrial is a decent guy who is trying to put his past behind him. I really enjoyed this chapter. I love the picture of the two love birds mending a broken heart.

I love this story, I love the way it is progressing. I am not disturbed by the setbacks, good relationships sometimes experience them. In my opinion, overcoming them helps to make the relationship stronger. I look forward to the day when the two of them become an official couple.

    I agree. I think all relationships have set backs. I think it should happen here too. Thank you for the kind review.

This is a great chapter, Barbara! The dialogue is so natural and finally the things that need to be said have been. I get frustrated with stories that continually have one or both people analyzing the others words and actions without listening to explanations or sharing their feelings. I'm glad that Gabriel took the reins on this one.

A well crafted chapter. The conversation made a lot of things clear to the reader. The readers always knew they were in a relationship, even if it is an
unconventional one. We actually don't see much baggage either. It is referred to. A professional athlete with model girlfriends. Wouldn't that be considered, normal?

Barb,

Wonderful job with this chapter. This convo could have gone wrong in SOOO many ways. I like this guy and I think he's proved himself to be legit and worthy in a thousand different ways. And now - they're finally exclusive! HUZZAH! This one is well worth the six. Great job!
