A good beginning. I can see the set up for a classic love story forming. She is resistant at first, but slowly he will win her and the kids over. Maybe, the dogs will help in that. Good writing, which means you spent a lot of time and patience editing. Flawless.

I think I'm going to enjoy this story. I believe this gentlemen is going to be a big part of her life and I think you really like dogs. So do I. My Roxie died last month and I miss him.

Thank you for the encouragement. Every good romance needs at least one dog.

Barb,
Nice! I'm thinking 'Not Everyone Loves Football' as a title. *smile* That's kind of intriguing and makes people wonder a bit. It would me, anyway.
Some notes:
1.) At a grove of (crepe) myrtle bushes, the sidewalk turned a sharp right.
2.) When she saw him again at the grocery store there should have been some moment of recognization - you don't acknowledge him at all until the very end. I FIGURED it was him, but couldn't be absolutely sure till almost the last lines.
Thanks!

I want him to be a mystery right now. She is completely clueless about him. Thank you for the kind review. I will get that crepe fixed.

Oh, I get that. But the kid runs into him and they talk - but she doesn't show any sign that she remembers the guy. I thought that was a little off. I mean, she'd definitely say - even in her mind - oh, it's you again.

I added it as a thought.

PERFECT! Just right.
