Aw! What a sad, romantic and lovely story. The title portraits its sadness, but the contains portrait the mirror of two hearts combined by the power of love. This is a great story. Thank you for sharing this with us. Good luck. God bless.

Another great chapter Mrs. Barbara.
The dialogue sounds realistic.
You did a great job writing this chapter where Troy makes sure she does everything to keep Anna safe. (Anna will be protected by the best). I feel sorry for Anna as all she wants is to live her life in peace. Thanks for another lovely chapter.

Ok so now she's all ready just in case there is another incident and they seem to know what they are talking about.
Well penned and concise.

Plot thickening as it should. All good for this chapter.
Thanks for sharing.

Hullo Barbara ...

As always, this chapter was interesting although short and there are just a few small changes to recommend ...

* You have - A man who accidently runs into a mother and child always run off. I believe you need to work on this to clarify your meaning.
* You have - When I accidently bump somebody (singular) I say I'm sorry and make sure they (plural) aren't hurt.
This should be - and make sure the person is not hurt.
* You have - Anna started to stand. This does not read well. I suggest - Anna slowly rose to her feet ... OR ...
Anna made a move to stand as the conversation continued.
* You have - This is how we're going to insure that doesn't happen. This should be - going to ensure that ....

I look forward to your next chapter.
Love from ... Nanette Mary.

It never fails to amaze me how criminals, or 'the bad guys' can twist the law around their little finger. It makes such a mockery of the legal system and makes the work of the police impossible at times. Another great part chapter with very good dialogue. Alexis x

I went all cold inside as I looked through this chapter
The intent of future abuse that is implied is skillfully introduced in a slow and drip fed manner which really shakes your reader to feel the horror of what may happen again
Barbara I did enjoy this chapter

So frightening the extent some men will go to to make their former spouses lives a living hell and they don't bother to consider the effects it has on their children. Well written as always~Debbie

A well thoughtout and perfectly
presented chapter, Barbara.
Will the poor woman ever find
peace for her and her child?
The maniac seems out to get her..
but Troy will guard over them.

Hi. THis was a nice read...easy to understand and follow. Not too much action, nice dialogue...beleivable. Good pace. I'll point out a few things which I think might be better off in a slightly different way.
Her eyes widened when she heard Troy state, "I think I'd better spend the night. Anna's not safe by herself." State. It doesn't fit well with the rest of the sentences. It sounds mechanical. You'd be better off with said. I understand the desire to 'cahnge it up' and not sound repetitive, but say and said and says are all good to use.


"It's probably the police." He walked over and answered it. You seem to have a common theme with someone being at the door and another person realizing this and answering it. Yes, that will happen, but you pretty much state it each time. It's not necessary.


"A man who accidently runs into a mother and child always run off." > always runs off. Or 'men' with 'run.'

"Go ahead and rock Michael. I'll answer the door." He opened it. "Hi, Everett." Again with the door. Yes, we know he's opened it because he's speaking with someone who was on the other side. Just a few things, but I think it would improve your work. Ciao!
