I like how you keep your story realistic by incorporating housework and Jushua's complaining about chore duties in the mix. How Gabriel was advising Jeremy about not slugging the coach proves what a good stepfather he'd make. Great chapter.

Gabriel reminds me of myself. My wife was in a marriage that was not working. We started dating before her divorce was final. We married sometime afterward. As a matter of fact, we lived together for two years before marrying. I was subjected to some suspicion because it was feared, by her own confession, that I would change after we married. We are on year 48 now, and I am still basically the same guy I was when we met, absent most of the bad habits I had when we first met. Smoking, heavy drinking an explosive temper.

Katherine and Gabriel get closer.
Smiles Barb the best part is great made me smile. And I like how you kept us readers slowly brought us to this part---
I'm going to promise I'll never stop helping and not because I'm trying to convince you to marry me." He cocked his head. "That doesn't sound right. When the time's right, I hope you'll agree to marry me. I understand the time isn't right for either of us." He scanned the area. "I think it's safe." He leaned over and kissed her. "Nothing would make me happier than someday making you my wife."

I keep wondering and pondering when is the big question going to happen. Katherine sure deserves happiness; but she has too many obstacles in her way!.

Comment from Jay Squires
Good news. Sounds like your hand is healing nicely. I would completely give up writing before resorting to one finger. Proud of you.
Katherine studied her hands. [Good! I like the indirectness of this!]
Another great chapter. Katherine has just a few lingering reservations, but they're soon to flake off, I'm sure, and it will be straight ahead with love, marriage ... and whatever follows that.

Great job finger typing! Stunning chapter--you continue to develop the characters and their relationship--good thing you remind the reader it's only been 36 days. Sneak preview of proposal pending!
I'll be outback=>OUT BACK putting this together."
If I'd hit him, I'd HAVE been wrong too.

Comment from Wendy G
Another good read. Your story is a gentle development of their relationship in their mostly ordinary lives. Yet there is a hint of evil with the dogs growling from time to time, and also her ex in-laws. It's always an enjoyable read.

Comment from Sankey
This, once again, was a great chapter. I am glad your wrist is getting better. I love the leading into romance way you have with writing. Did you ever solve that problem with your books was it after Amazon or something?

Thank you for the kind review. I can promise some trouble. Amazon deleted it. Not sure why.
Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
Barbara it has been ages since I read your fine work and even with a damaged wrist you can write the pants off anyone in terms of prose....you truly are a master of characterization and making the scenes seem real, the characters real, nothing ever feels forced and is well paced. Brilliant stuff as always enjoyed so much kindest regards Meia x
