The way you fill us in with information is great, Barbara. You've done it through the curiosity of a little girl, instead of telling it as it is. I might follow your lead some time ...:) The mention of Dani and Matt reminds me of 'old friends'. I enjoy reading this chapter, Barbara.

I think the post works o.k., certainly a good read. You have already built Joe's character pretty well, and there is the tension involving Sara. I know you have a challenge on writing each story that can be enjoyed stand alone, so no problems with this post to me. It also introduces Cassie in a new way as well.
You know me - I'm just hooked on Barbara Wilkey!

Well done Barbara,

If you are painting Joe as a playful, funny, big hearted and caring guy...you did it perfectly. The interaction among the three of them worked very well. You also did a very good job with Cassie's personality. She is bright, inquisitive and very close to her mother; it would appear.
I was a little confused between Joe's comment, "I heard you tell Cassie...." and Sara responding with, "You've seen my car..." Not sure if his comment required a response or if Sara intentionally did not answer him..
At any rate, it was a good chapter and I enjoyed reading it.

    I will go back and check that area. I wanted to show Sara being concerned that her hair wasn't dry, but I was in Joe's POV. I guess it didn't come through. Thank you for your reveiw.

I really enjoyed this chapter. I love stories that have military men in them and a woman back home or somewhere close. Great job. Hugs, Teri

Having not read the whole thing yet or knowing the story or characters, I can say that yes, this chapter definitely works. It's very well written, the characters shine through and it kept my attention. Just what it should do ;)

Hi Barbara,

This chapter works very well for me. You have just enough facts about Joe's life to make him very interesting but still a little mysterious. That is a good thing in any story. You leave me wanting more and I am hoping Sara and Joe get together but I am prepared for a surprise or an event that will harm their budding relationship! Well done. Blessings, chey

    Thank you for your kind review. Not only does Joe and Sara's relationship need to cemented. I need to establish one between Joe and Cassie.

Hi Barbara,

Seems the Colonel is getting to know the lady at last and she's beginning to weaken as well. Well written and your dialogues are very good.

Mom won't allow me call - let me call or allow me to call
The picture looks pretty darned good to me. LOL I like this chapter - it demonstrates that they're still in that slightly awkward beginning stage but each one is far more than casually interested - the part about her caring enough to be jealous and his caring enough to care that she's jealous pretty much says it all. I also like the scene with her 8th grade daughter before Mom appears - it says a lot about his personality/character outside of a romantic relationship, the way he interacts with her. Brooke

    I took care of that sentence. I thought this post needed at little push. Thank you for your review and continued support. I appreciate both.
