Well, Gretchen, it may not "be your thing" but for me you provided us with a nice story.
Honestly, knowing you bc and Halloween, I started reading this waiting for a gruesome ending.

Ha. Was I wrong. Nicely done!

Cheers,
John

Lol. I honestly try to label my work so there is no question. Glad I didn't ruin it with a nasty witch. Gretchen

Hello Gretchen,
well, romance may not be the genre of your choice, but you sure hit this out of the park. I've got a soft spot for romance stories, if they aren't too mushy. Like Goldilocks and the three bears, this one was just right gal. Well done.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Thank you. You won't read too many of them from me. Glad you liked it. Gretchen

You did a great job of foreshadowing. I was hoping Cary was the man of Maggie's dreams. Best friends should be together as they know each other's frailties, fears, and strengths and still like each other.
Great romance. Maybe it isn't your general genre, but it was a terrific venture into romance.

Thank you so much. I will occasionally get bit by the romance bug but not often. Lol. Gretchen

I love a good romance, almost as much as horror movies. LoL this one was perfect... wonderful imagery... I was there feeling that exciting first kiss, the butterflies in my stomach and goosebumps on my arms, the anticipation... how wonderful to fall in love with your best friend.

Well done!

Aww. That is so sweet. After reading the last one I thought we were in for some horror and they were going to fall out, but it all turned out to be a beautiful little love story. Thank you!

I like to keep you guessing. Lol. I'm not a huge fan of romance but every once in a while the inspiration hits. Lol. Thank you for this. Gretchen

This is a well-crafted story and stood out to me! A beautiful plot and very clever! Everything from beginning to end said something magical was going to happen and it was just perfect. Brilliant job!

I was enchanted by this story. It was romantic and sweet. I dated my best friend once, but it didn't turn out well. I'd like to think things worked out for your characters. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Never thought about those characters after that story. But I'll say yes, they are still happy and in love. Lol. I appreciate your kindness. Gretchen

A fine romance and I have never been a big fan of the ferris wheel as I always think of all the things that could go wrong! But this girl will do anything to be with the one she loves, a magical story Gretchen, love Dolly x

Thanks, Dolly. I'm glad you liked it. Ferris wheel was kind of boring to be honest. I love a roller coaster. Thanks again, Gretchen

You are a romance writer, for sure. No matter what you say.
I think every one who can write, and possesses any feelings at all, had at least one romance in them. Good work.
Best wishes.

This is a lovely, 'feel good' story which I enjoyed reading. As ever, it had that imaginative ending rather than anything too predictable. And no horror element. Just you showing your versatility in another genre. Well done, Gretchen! Debbie
