wow, you brought in another man...Gabe kind of gets a little irritated when he sees someone at the door other than him. She must be quite the lady; I like her as a character in your story.

Hello Barbara,

Reading this was enjoyable because the characters are engaging, and the dialogue moves the story along as it serves to strengthen characterization. Description is good and pace is appropriate. When I read your writing it's easy to feel as if I'm in the midst of the scene.

Well done. Write on!

I probably missed some posts here, I haven't been able to review much because I'm spending three days a week looking after my dad, who had a stroke. But the dialogue here is as realistic as ever, and we get this low level tension between Gabe and Katherine as this stranger injects some jealousy into their relationship to test it. As happens with all couples. It is good realism and it will be interesting to see how Gabe and Kath navigate this in the future chapters. estory

Strange that he doesn't react when she says she's in a committed relationship. If that is so, why would he be scared off by a guy handing her a rose.

Unclear: I don't want to do that either-- perhaps she means: I don't want to do either

A typo: Melton or Milton?

Must be hard typing with one hand. I feel for you.

Milton I vory, I hope is a passing ship possibly as a foil to Gabriel and to create a bit of jealousy.
I LIKED THE way she reassured him.
Hope your wrist is getting better.

It seems that the course of of true love never runs smooth. Your introduction of a little competition for Katherine's attention looks like adding a bit of spice. It will be interesting to see how things turn out.

I hope the new guy in town (Milton Ivory) wasn't being tricky and trying to gain information for the in-laws. I could see some sneaky guy doing just that. Gabriel couldn't conceal his jealousy very well and I think Katherine enjoyed it just a little.

Smiles, Carol

This work has reached the exceptional level

Barb,
I enjoyed reading this chapter. How nice that Gabriel gave a red rose to Katherine (from the image of the rose its beautiful) and a red rose is saying, 'I love you'

    Thank you for the kind review. Gabriel didn't give her the rose another man did.

    You are welcome I'll go back and see who the other man is.

    This is not actually about football. It's just in the background. Thank you for the encouragement.
