Good job, Barbara,
I read right through without seeing needed changes. Tricky, isn't it, breaking an already written book into chapters? I've missed several chapters. Just can't keep up with everything I need to do. Sounds like Steven and Leya have had a misunderstanding, and Peggy is determined to make the most of it. You kept me interested from first to last. Blessings! Marjie

Sounds like Leya is heading for the cabin! Good for her. Hope she gets there before Peggy.
Good chapter. Sounds like this is a interesting story. Looking forward to going back and reading previous chapters and awaiting the ones to come. Thanks for sharing.
Great, well defined characters. I like your descriptions. Peggy reminds me of the typical "take advantage of a male while he's down" woman in all the soaps stories.
Don't see anything needing revision.

Things are really moving now. Can't wait to see how Leya gets herself to Jackson Hole.
Didn't spot any spags

Comment from RebelRose
That hard-headed Steven should have run right to Leya. Now, I am worried about the distance and a whole week passing and the threat of Peggy in Leya's mind. I am anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

Leya doesn't sit idlely by, she gets herself into more trouble. Thank you for your kind review.
Comment from L.lora
An excellent addition which
is very realistic. Needless to
say Peggy is determined not to
give up, let's hope she doesn't
know where Steven is headed. Awe,
you've built an interesting set
of circustances that could go in
any direction. Looking forward to
your next post. Lora

Comment from Rama Rao
First, let me thank you for posting a good chapter. It wasn't too long at all. In fact, I appreciate such posts, which move the story forward.
Second, the story raced and held my interest right until the end.
Third, I've a small doubt. Peggy brought a case of beer. She could have carried at best a six pack, but managed to get Steve drunk. Do men get drunk with five cans of beer? I wonder.
I liked Matt's statement, he was no expert on why women do what they do. No man has fathomed this mystery so far.
One typo- OK, buddy.
An excellent chapter to read.

Peggy carried a case. She works out with free weights, which has already been established. Thank you for your kind review. I always enjoy hearing from you.
Comment from Helen Tan
The first thing that popped in my mind when I opened this chapter was WOW - talk about big pizzas! Now to the serious stuff... I like this introduction of more tension in the form of Peggy. She's a great "prop'" to show Steven's commitment to Leya and Leya's love for Steven. The fact she is bothered by Peggy's appearance shows how much shw wants Steven. I'm glad it looks like they will clear the misunderstanding.
and turned on the TV.
Barbara, I think I'm a fossil but I tend to spell "television" in full for narrative BUT it's fine to have "TV" in dialogue. Just thought I would let you know.
Steven attempted to turnoff the TV,
turn off - two words, single word indicates someone or someting that's repulsive.
"Cut it out!" then asked, "What are you doing? You need to get out."
Suggest you delete "then asked" as it's not required. Keep it as continuous dialogue here. It reads smoother.
Joe lifted her T-shirt from the floor and lifted Peggy off Steven,
Two "lifted" here, suggest changing the first to maybe "picked"?
coffee sloshed from his cup.
Good detail - allows the reader to know the strength he hit the table with.

Hello Barbara. As usual, another well written chapter that holds the readers interest all the way. Characters and dialogue realistic without clutter or spags.
Have a great day, regards Mia

Comment from Isaiah Ramesses
Another good chapter. I don't like this "Peggy". Reminds me of Erika Kane.Lol!
"No, I want you to get.">>didn't know if you meant for this sentence to be this way, or left a word out. It fits, just not usually your style.

Steven was drunk and I thought he might be more frank, but I am not sure it worked if you are questioning it. I'll recheck it. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Belinda
Wow... Steven is saved by the bell. And no, relatively speaking, this is not too long, it is the way a chapter retains attention that matters, I think. And you did a great job.
