A fine, balanced storyline, good use of descriptive text and well presented in short but concise paragraphs, the interactions blend perfectly making it nice and easy to read

I feel the sentence below needs to be edited; otherwise the chapter flows well.
You comment on his action when he discovered who the man was that raped you like it was his standard behavior .

Your ability to let a conversation flow is incredible. I often have a hard time following when a story has too much conversation, but I found myself not even stopping once to double check who was saying what.
Well done, and very realistic.

This is a good chapter. I think that Sarah has been hurt but she is an adult. I think you have done a good job with Joe's friends. I saw no need for editing.

Great dialogue. All of the action was very natural, and the chapter left me curious about the path Sara will choose. I haven't read the previous chapters, but I am now curious enough to read backwards as well. Nicely done!

Great reading. I am glad that Sara has people that talk straight to her. I am looking forward to the next chapter. Being the romantic I want things to work out between Matt and Sara. Good job my friend.

What a wonderful chapter. You portrayed the confusion and fear that Sara is feeling well. It is hard to open your heart and soul to another person, but when its the right person it can be pure magic. Well done!

Barbara, terrific segment to this story. Very well penned narrative with very strong and credible dialogue. Especially loved the heart-to-heart talk and wise advise Dani offered Sara. Excellent work, my friend.

Sometimes it is so hard to see what's staring you right in the face.

An excellent chapter, as usual, which made absorbing reading. However, I couldn't make out why Sara is doubting Joe's love for her. Secondly, Joe has come across as an ideal man- a paragon of virtue. I wish you had made his character well rounded with some deficiency, albeit minor to make him look more real.
the man was that raped you - you can delete the 'was' unpopular with editors.
