Hey girlfriend, this chapter moved really well. Sara is becoming more comfortable with Joe. I love how Joe is showing interest in Cassie and her sports. They already seem on a good footing.

Thanks for the author's notes. I am thinking of you constantly. Your medical team will take good care of you.
A little gremlin in this good writing:


"That's none of your business, young lady." Sara['s] cheeks flushed.

Take care. luv jada

Dear Barbara, I didn't know you had this fight. I am very sorry. How do you write so well, I could not do anything. I sure hope this leaves you, and you will be fully well soon. Your writing is so very very well done, it is a joy to read, I am so impressed with your dialogue, so real and it's like you are right there in the room. Please get well soon, and PM anytime if you want. Love, Susan

Excellent writing with no spag that I saw. It read fast and the syntax was very good. The dialog moved the story along quite well.

Barbara this was superb
in all ways; the flow
was easy and smooth, the
descriptions were colorful
and left great images in the
mind, and the dialogue as always--
was spot on. This addition to your
storyline was so full of life and
exhuberance, a pure delight and
pleasure to read.

"turned and Joe walk(ed) into the kitchen."

Looking forward to your next
post. Hugs, Lora

Joe is really hitting home runs with Sara and Cassie. I think it's good to allow Ginger to pop up here and there, it adds to the tension in the story, a spot of trouble. Hope you're keeping well. =D

Sara cheeks flushed.
Sara's

Other mom's need to bring
Apostrophe is not required as you just want the plural form.

"Of course, there's no way I'd miss it. I hear there's this great new pitcher about to start her first game."
This line is definitely a home run for Joe.

"She's a great kid, but I don't think I'll ever understand her?"
I think the question mark is not required here.


Joe grinned, watching her leave. I love you too, Sara.
I love you too, Sara. - Internal dialogue, should it be in italic?

*****
When Sara returned wearing blue jeans and a lavender blouse,
I think this paragraph break is not required as there is not much of a time transition and it's still set in the kitchen.

so I'd say it's sufficed to say I'm sure she'll think twice
The two "say" sounds awkward here. Suggest you have a look at this line again.

A great chapter... I like the way you interjected a little more of Cassie in the chapter turning the reader away from Joe and Sara, at least for a bit. You write well and I can feel the heat increasing between the two of them. Nicely done with additional charector, Ginger.

I don't know where to start. First of all your posting is excellent. It's so well written, I wouldn't suspect you have a care in the world. More importantly, I wish you the best with your health issues. Thank you for the update.
