Hi Barbara
I found the story most captivating, it was well presented and produced very much with the emphasis on making it easy on the eye

I enjoyed reading this chapter. As a late comer to your book, I will certainly try to go back and read the rest of the novel. Your characters are plausible and the dialogue has a good flow. Well written.

Comment from Dave M
Barbara,
Hang in there, and we hope everything works out. I really enjoyed this read. Sara and Joe are two intelligent people, and their concerns are realistic. But it does sound like things are working out.
I enjoyed this read and have several suggestions:
"What if I would have [What if I had decided] decided I didn't want to see you anymore?"
"You leave out what you feel I don't need to know, or you think I can't handle [it]."
"In the United States we don't choose our future spouses because of the size of their dowry." Oh yes, they do. I've heard of women looking for the man's other bulge in his pants. Just a sardonic comment.
In your author notes: ...so I hope there aren't to [too] many mistakes in this post."

This is a nice story of love. The dialogues are very credible and the flow was just natural. The love story itself was real and appealing in a special way. I enjoyed reading it. cheers

Hi Barbara,
I like this conversation between Joe and Sara, I do believe it is a break through for their relationship. I can see why Sara is worried about falling in love with Joe as their live style is so different. I hope she follows her heart. Love this chapter! Also I hope you are feeling okay. There are a lot of people praying for you. Blessings,chey

Barbara, this is another well penned narrative in this story - didn't find any spag mistakes. I can understand Sara's concerns regarding sustaining a long distance relationship, Joe's safety and, especially, not feeling like a kept woman. She has been standing on her own two feet, providing for herself and Cassie for a long time. Nonetheless, I hope she sees all he offers is genuine. Great write, my friend.

P.S. I'm sure you have tons of info on iron rich food foods, but just in case. Liver is a very high iron food, and although many people don't care for it, there's a wonderful way to make it highly tasty. I was under chemo therapy for some time and it helped. Here's the recipe :
Sautee
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cups of chopped liver (I preferred chicken to beef)
1 large chopped onion (sweet onions preferably)
2-3 minced cloves of garlic
a sprinkle of oregano
a sprinkle of coriander
salt & pepper
1 cup tomato sauce
Cook for 20 - 30 minutes
Once cooked, you can eat is as is, with some potatoes or rice
or
allow it to cool, drain it and whip it with a little bit of mayo, sour cream or cream cheese to create a pate you can spread on whole wheat bread or crackers - for sandwiches or for snacks. You can also use it as a dip with your favorite chips. For this pate version, don't add tomato sauce when cooking.
Many blessings, my friend

Thank you for the great recipe. I will try it. I never suspected to be searching for ways to add iron to my diet. Thank you for the kind review.

Good luck with the iron levels!
This chapter flows evenly and I haven't found any mistakes. It is a great way to read a book.

One should never worry what other people think about their relationship, it is none of their business. Saying that we often care anyway.
Also shouldn't think your own relationship can be good or bad because of some other couple in similar cercumstances.
