That wishing on a falling star takes me back to my childhood, use to always say that though were told never to tell your wish or it wouldn't come true, like when you blow out the candles on you birthday cake.
Thanks for the memories.

A good chapter

The suspense about Cassie's whereabouts is starting to get to everyone, including me, ha ha. I surely hope they can bring her home soon ... before the house looks like a rainbow. LOL. Great chapter.

    Thank you for your kind review. I thought the artwork was appropriate for Sara's poor house.

Excellent chapter, Barbara. This has been my favorite chapter of all. Some flowing, natural dialog, perfect balance of dialog and narrative. Love the ending. Well done!

It's the perfect color for a bedroom," Joe said as he glared at George.

Hi Barbara,

Sara is one very mixed up lady at present. She had better sort out her thinking on Joe as a "trained killer" - she wouldn't want to be hitched up with an untrained one!

This holds the tension well, keeps Cassie and her possible fate in the forefront of the mind and moves slowly toward the possible outcome. Well done.

This was a good read from beginning to end, as usual. I really like the part about Sara hitting Joe to get his attention. You have portrayed her mixed feelings very well.

I was happy to see some of the romance back :) I enjoy the chemistry between Joe and Sara and I was missing it ;-) Stay strong and keep writing!

Joe's statement about Sara being childish for slugging him cracked me up. LOL That was cute. I could picture the scene well. She got herself all worked up. ;)

Nicely paced. I see the romance building and I like it.

My only suggestion (and a small one) is to take this comment out:
She paused. "I only have one wall painted."
That kind of takes some of the emotion out of that scene. (For me anyway.)

Ohh... I can't wait for Sara to become more confident in Joe and her relationship with him. I want some hanky panky to go on... lol

Another well written chapter, the ending was really touching and powerful.

"Not nearly as childish as slugging me on the arm, because you wanted to be held. Now go to sleep, Munchkin." He kissed the top of her head. [[ nice]]

Well done, Barbara. I can see that Sara and Joe have grown even closer. This "George" character better watch himself. I do hope you're doing well these days. Good read.

I wish you luck in your chemo and that you feel better as you get used to it. This is my first time reading your work. You've got a grip on the story you are telling. The romance that is building in this chapter is good. Your dialogue is good too - easy to follow. Suggestion: the last line- you could say, as he kissed the top of her head rather than making this a separate sentence. It feels stiff otherwise. thanks for sharing!
