I love all of Joe's little romantic gestures. Oh to find a man like that! I will continue to keep you in my prayers. Godspeed and stay strong!

    Thank you for your kind review. I am looking for a Joe, too. Think my husband would mind?

Again, another chapter that slowly brings the relationship along, as it should in just a the weeks time. The dialogue this time seemed a little, I don't know if this is the right word, but fake, forced??? All in all, a very good chapter.
Now for the important stuff... I just read your notes, my wife on December 10, 2001 had undergone surgury for the removal of lymph node under her right arm and a small incision and removal on her right breast. EVERY, EVERY, EVERY follow-up visit since then has been no issue. With her Breast Surgion and Oncologist (who she puts 1000% confidence in) she has had perfect follow-up visits! I pray you have the same!!! Keep the faith, be positive and may God bless... John

Wow, double drama! (In the story, and in the notes.) I hope you get what you want, schoolwise, and i hope Joe and Sara do as well.

First of all, I wish you well. I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday and hoping for the best.
I do so look forward to each of your posts to see how Joe and Sara are coming along. Once again, I was not disappointed as you continued to develop their relationship at a measured pace. There's just one little typo. I think you left out a word in "don't do something attack us" Perhaps a to? Thanks for another great chapter!

    I must have been fixing that when you were reviewing it. Yes, I left out to, such a little word, but every important. Thank you for your kind thoughts and for your review. I appreciate your support.

This is a wonderful story. I wonder how long Sara is going to have to wait? I think I had read a previous chapter, but even if I hadn't, your writing is very fluid and the story is easy to follow. I really enjoyed it.

Another great job, Barbara.

Only spotted a couple of things.

making sure the cartels don't do something [to] attack us through them.

Your life is so much more exicting[exciting] than mine.

Joe felt his breathing become rapid and his heart beating harder. -- This doesn't sound consistent. I can't think how to change it, but take a look at it.

Our prayers are with you. Be strong.

Roberta

    I already read it and wrote a review. I struggled with the review and gave you a 6. Than you for your kind review.

    My apologies, Barbra. I simply didn't see the name clearly enough to realize you had read the story and reviewed it. Tanks so much.

I think Sara can put Joe in the interested column. You are doing a good job building their relationship. This is very well written. I am enjoying the read.

An excellent chapter as usual. Joe's character is very interesting. However, he is going to be a one star general soon. Officers of that rank generally do more planning and paperwork and less field work, I thought. Secondly, I found the word scooted twice in the text. What exactly does it mean? Is it American slang apart from what is given in Webster?

    Another way to move closer--scooted. Joe is in a special task force. It's small group of men. The treat each other as equals and rank is only a pay grade, in this task force. Not in the military. Thank you for your kind review and support.

You must have a whole lot of knowledge about the everyday tasks of Task Force. I like the way things are related in a conversation between two trusting lovers. I might try it myself. Interesting chapter, Barbara. (Sorry about your health condition, I hope you will soon recover.)
