I like the way you blend in the background of your protagonists, the parents and grandparents, are always stable with the belief that life gives back what it receives, the result, independent thinking sons a daughters, which is always a nice stable backdrop, well done, blessings Roy

You must have gotten your self defense information from Helen! That adds an interesting wrinkle to the story. It behooves everyone to be alert to their surroundings. I remember when I was living in MA I had my wallet snatched when I was dozing on the bus. It isn't encouraging to think you have to live like that, but in the large cities, you do. Doesn't Sami have a job to get to, or is it summer? Noan is trying to prepare Sami for what to expect when they're married, and it looks like she's up to it. Somehow, I don't like Noah calling Sami "Sunshine." Maybe it's just a personal thing, but it seems out of character for him. judi

Thank you for the kind review. Nope, this was written well over a year ago. I mentioned it before Helen's post ever came out probably 5 months ago. It's summer. She told her mom; she'll supervise summer weightlifting then come to her house. They also celebrated Father's Day. Thank you for the kind review.

That's a good lesson for all of us to know and practice faithfully in today's world, to always be ready for most anything. Things happen before we have time to think about them. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is all leading to one event between Noah and Sami and the latter seems to be lagging behind a bit in her understanding. In the meantime, Noah, as caring and vigilant as ever, wants Sami to be able to defend herself should she ever need to. This is in-keeping with the role he's always had throughout the story, in contrast with Sami who can be far more casual and devil-may-care. An enjoyable chapter, Barbara, with great consistency of characters. Well done! Debbie
She('s) has more in common than her dad

I have made the corrections. Thank you for the catches. I always appreciate the help.

Another excellent chapter, Barbara, with excellent dialogue as always, which I really enjoyed. I just spotted one typo here, "She's has more in common with her dad than me." You don't need the apostrophe in she's. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

You're right. I'll take care of that error immediately. I appreciate the catch.
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I am enjoying this one. They are both clear headed about stuff. We have so many divorces because people have unreal expectations. They seem to be talking about the important things. Family, religion, safety, his work, etc. Good writing. Karen

Comment from lyenochka
That's thoughtful of Noah to prepare Sami for being alert to possible attacks. I liked how you had her do the groin punch. (That's one of our tai chi moves - but it's only part of a form not an actual attack.)
The planned attacks reminds me of The Pink Panther hiring his assistant Kato to attack him.
It sounds like Noah may have an engagement ring already!

Thank you for the kind review. Some things need to happen before a proposal.
Comment from Wendy G
Noah seems to be thinking ahead, and it is wise for Sami to remember to be alert and to know how to protect herself from unexpected attacks. Well written. I am sure Sami suspectes what Noah is up to, re the ring which her mother checked the size of, right while he was there. Lol. Well written.

Comment from BethShelby
This was an excellent story. I think I missed one because I didn't know her mother knew he wanted to propose. I'll got back and read it. i"m glad she is going to be able to protect herself. I also glad he will be proposing soon.

Her dad called her. Thank you for the kind review. Would he have kept that to himself??

No, it don't think so. He would have told her.

This is a nicely written chapter for your book and I enjoyed very much listening to it. It flows very well when it is read aloud. May you have a wonderful day and a very wonderful week. And happy Thanksgiving. Patricia.
