There is good character development in this chapter. It is good to see that there are so many people cheering for Katherine. Mr. Frost isn't making friends or influencing people with his rotten attitude and rumors.

You're wonderful.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
So glad that Katherine hung in and defended herself. Gossip can bring lots of sadness to one's life and this lady sure has had some nasty politics; she's been there only for a few days.

Bad things can happen to good people. Thank you.

I so agree with you; innocent bystanders can experience nasty scenarios. That's when you get down on your knees and pray!
Comment from AJ McCall
You're right there isn't much action in this chapter but I love it nonetheless! Gabriel is so kind and caring... I like Paul too. I think the part where Gabriel tries to take Katherine's hand you should say that they headed back into the school because just reading it, seems like they magically appeared in the locker room, lol.
Can't wait for the next chapter!!

How often do incidents like this occur and women have to prove themselves constantly? She seems strong enough to do so. Texas high school football good backdrop for storyline.

This is another great piece. You do keep me interested, what is Mr. Frost's problem. I continue to enjoy your use of white space to save my eyes. I look forward to the next installment.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-A good image and
transition chapter, Barbara.
-The actions and dialogue
among these three characters
is very believable.
-We would expect Katherine
to be upset and doubting herself
after Mr. Frost's uncalled for accusations.
-Paul and Gabriel are good men, and
share their concerns about Katherine.
-They offer their comfort, each in
his own way, and they also show
her that they support her, and have
no idea what is going on with Frost.
-Gabriel, in particular, spends a little
more time, and shows her in small
ways how he cares.
-Finally, she is ready to go back
to her meeting, and the response
from her colleagues is amazing
and very reassuring for Katherine.
-I look forward to seeing what
happens regarding Frost!
-Well done.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I don't know about it being a bridge chapter, I thought it was very well done, and needed to follow on from the last part. If that had been me who that slime-ball was talking about, I would have immediately sued him for libel. He's your classic toe-rag! This was an excellent chapter, Barbara, very well written and most enjoyable. I can't wait to see what the future holds for that sleeze-bag, Mr Frost! :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Sanku
Though not a lot was happening ,it was a really good bridge chapter .The bonding between Katherine and Gabriel is very naturally and sensitively presented..And a great relief to know the Mr Frost would soon have a punitive order...

"You have a wife and a daughter. You have to do tears." [Ha! I like that.]
This is a bridge post. Not a lot happening, but is necessary to the story. I can promise more action very soon. [With your skill at writing, Barbara, I don't think your readers are at all concerned over the action. This scene had a strong dynamic.]
