Wow, we get into the romantic start and Gabi feels almost like family: "When Gabriel and Jordan arrived at the house, Katherine and the boys were setting the table. Jeremy ran up and hugged Gabriel's thighs. "I've missed you and Reggie so much. I'm glad you came. Are you eating dinner with us?"

Gabriel eyed Katherine. "I'd better go. I just wanted to say hi."

Katherine put her hand on the extra chair. "I think this chair and place setting has your name on it."

"Oh really?" His eyebrows rose.

"Really." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the next chapter.

It continues to be an interesting and well written story. I never see any spelling or punctuation errors. The development of the plot is calm and unrushed. Thanks for posting.

Even though I've missed a few chapters of this, I find it easy to pick up the thread when I do read a chapter. The conversation is so easy and natural and the situations so real that they come to life in the mind.
Keep up the good work. No spags that I can see.

-A good image and story
to go with it, Barbara.
-I like how there are different
things going on with different characters.
-The football game was exciting with
the extra point and discussion about it later.
-I was wondering why Gabe was being
evasive about coming to see Katherine,
but you indicate why at the end,
adding mystery and suspense to the story.
-Katherine and Gabe usually have good
discussions and can banter back and forth.
-Her first practice went well, and she is
obviously very fit!
-I enjoyed reading it.

Like your video regarding the fight song...such great words to run by. My granddaughters ran track; also have one running track with her team now; if you don't mind I would like to pass this song onto them....they would love it.

That was really interesting. Some of your sports are so different from ours. It looks like Katherine and Gabriel are getting closer. I can understand Gabriel's concerns about staying so often, with that louse of a man having them spied upon, it could seriously damage both their careers. Well done, Barbara, excellent chapter. :) Sandra xxx

I'm not sure I'll be able to post this weeks, I'm so behind in everything having my time taken up in our moving. Goodness, there is so much to do! xxx

You continue to enrichen the relationship--the interactions are touching and rendered with apt sensitivity-- all the characters and their dialog are believable. Nice work.

Running has never been my thing but apparently it is yours. I like your fight song. This was another good chapter. I get exhausted just thinking about running up a hill. Our PE teacher use to make us run around the ball field and it was sheer torture for me. Katherine and Gabriel seem well matched.

This is another well written and thought out chapter. Everything is lining up and progressing, like a smooth tale should. With a family of young kids it is easy to see why Katherine is going slow and making sure about things before rushing in. Gabe on the other hand, is odd. He is still a man, and certain sides don't show. I do hope the P.I. thread is explained later, right it doesn't make sense.

Good job.
